Young actress Maisie Williams may not be a huge fan of spoilers, but she finds no problem in teasing what fans should expect in the upcoming seventh season of the world-famous HBO series "Game of Thrones."

In the show, Williams plays the cutthroat, Needle-wielding, and face-changing assassin Arya Stark. Many fans of the show have grown invested in Arya's path of vengeance against those who brought the downfall of her family, so some also wonder how her story will progress in the coming season. Will she be among the lucky ones who would make it out alive until the very end of the show?

In an interview with TimeOut regarding her latest Netflix project "iBoy," the young actress revealed that even the cast are currently in the dark about their respective characters' future in "Game of Thrones." Nevertheless, she and her fellow cast members are prepared for the end. And if Arya manages to live until season 8, Williams will be getting a tattoo to mark the occasion.

"There are rumours that if you make it from season one to season eight there's a tattoo that we all get," Williams told TimeOut, adding: "We're all waiting to see if we do make it. I was lucky enough to be in season one, even the pilot episode. If I do make it to season eight I will get it. It would be rude not to!"

On what fans should expect in the upcoming season, Maisie said that loyal viewers of the show are in for "a huge cliffhanger."

"We've come to the climax and it's rolling down to the end. It's exciting. I really felt like at the end of last season everything was set up for how it was going to end. Every character came to a little junction in their lives. Now we're all going to crash down together to however this show ends," Williams explained.

In other news, given the reputation of "Game of Thrones" in killing off major characters to drive the story forward, many are already guessing which characters will meet their demise in season 7. In fact, Sports Betting Experts have polled 10,000 fans of the show to get their opinions on who will be the next character to die in the show.

The top five picks on who will meet their demise next include Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), Melisandre (Carice van Houten), Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham), Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen), and Yara Greyjoy (Gemma Whelan).

"Game of Thrones" season 7 is set to debut this summer on HBO.
