'Game of Thrones' season 7 spoilers, news: Maisie Williams teases 'exciting' finale; familiar dead character set to return?
"Game of Thrones" is still a few months from its much-anticipated premiere, but cast member Maisie Williams already have teasers about the upcoming season 7 finale.
"It's so exciting...it's just a great finale, it makes me excited for the series after," Williams said on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show With Nick Grimshaw (via Hollywood Life). "People should be very, very excited," the actress added. Like most fans, Williams admitted that she tries to get spoilers about the show in any way possible. She even tries by asking writers about her character's fate.
Over the course of six seasons, the actress shared that the cast has become closely bonded. Williams mentioned that she often hangs out with her co-stars even if the cameras are no longer rolling. "We go out for drinks and stuff and we end up talking about the show," she continued. "Because we're a season ahead we have to watch what we're saying because you never know who's listening," Williams went on to say.
Filming for season 7 is currently in full swing, and there have been leaked photos of epic scenes being filmed on set. Some of the images include a sequence with key characters Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), although images featuring Arya (Williams) in action are yet to be seen.
On another note, season 7 will see the return of a familiar dead character: Walder Frey (David Bradley). Arya killed him in the season 6 finale to avenge her mother and brother's death, but he is coming back for the show's next installment.
Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that Bradley's resumé at his talent agency indicates that he's appearing in season 7, which means the character is making a comeback. HBO doesn't respond to casting rumors since they try to keep everything about the new season under wraps, but Bradley's return will most likely be a flashback.
The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" premieres in summer 2017 on HBO. An official release date has not been announced yet.
