Key Takeaways

  • George R.R. Martin teases a new project with Maisie Williams, sparking excitement among fans.
  • There is potential for an Arya Stark spin-off following a meeting with Williams in London.
  • Fans eagerly await more details and hope for redemption after feeling let down by Game of Thrones season eight.

As a hardcore Game of Thrones fan with over a decade of invested emotions and countless hours spent dissecting every detail, George R.R. Martin’s latest teaser about a potential Arya Stark spin-off has me as excited as a direwolf chasing a rabbit. The thought of Maisie Williams reprising her iconic role is a tantalizing prospect that could potentially redeem the franchise’s tarnished reputation left by the lackluster season eight.


It appears that fantasy writer George R.R. Martin has hinted at a potential new project involving actress Maisie Williams, who starred in the popular HBO series “Game of Thrones.” This show was based on Martin’s novel series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which chronicles an extended power struggle among noble families while a more ominous and destructive force threatens their kingdoms. The story follows this force as it seeks to annihilate everything in its path, ultimately bringing about an endless winter.

Acclaimed by Time magazine as “the American Tolkien,” George R.R. Martin has garnered numerous awards over the years such as the Hugo Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the Goodreads Choice Award, and in 2019, a Primetime Emmy Award for Games of Thrones season eight. First airing in 2011, Game of Thrones quickly became a global phenomenon, ultimately ranking among the most-watched TV shows ever produced, with its seventh season attracting over 10 million viewers to HBO. Regrettably, season eight did not meet expectations for many viewers, who felt that the shortage of source material and hasty production were its major flaws.

Game of Thrones Creator Hints at New Project With Maisie Williams

George R.R. Martin hinted on his website, Not a Blog, that he recently dined with Maisie Williams, who portrayed Arya Stark for nearly a decade in Game of Thrones. Although he was in London during the summer, Martin chose to keep the details of their conversation under wraps. However, he did suggest that this encounter could lead to something very exciting and didn’t want to risk jinxing it by disclosing too much information at this time.

Additionally, we had a delightful gathering with Maisie Williams over some pizza and pasta, discussing various topics that, if I were to share, might just bring good fortune our way. So let’s keep the specifics under wraps for now, but suffice it to say, it promised an enjoyable time!

As an ardent fan, I’m excitedly looking forward to HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” the first spin-off in the Game of Thrones universe. In 2025, we have another gem on the horizon: “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” derived from George R.R. Martin’s novella, “The Tales of Dunk and Egg.” This series promises to restore the prestige of the Game of Thrones franchise, much like the canceled Jon Snow spin-off. However, just as Martin’s meeting with Williams might not yield fruit, it’s plausible, given Arya’s immense potential (some might even say she outshines Jon Snow in this regard). She has become a beloved figure, both within and beyond the realm of Game of Thrones.

At present, Martin is undeniably kept quite occupied. Apart from keeping fans intrigued with his literary advancements on “The Winds of Winter“, there’s also a potential “Game of Thrones” film brewing in its infancy at Warner Bros. While the prospect of an Arya spin-off remains undecided, it’s highly probable that fans of “Games of Thrones” will eagerly seize any chance to witness the resourceful Stark character on screens once more.
