Los Angeles: Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams has bagged her next gig – a role in the upcoming comedy, tentatively titled ‘Two Weeks to Live’.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Sky original is described as ‘a comic tale of love and revenge born from a seemingly harmless prank that goes terribly wrong’.
As per the plot summary, Williams will play Kim Noakes who is a strange young misfit who lost her father when she was just a little girl in murky circumstances. Following his death, her mother whisked her away to a remote rural life of seclusion and bizarre survival techniques.
All grown up, Kim sets out into the real world for the first time to begin a secret mission of honouring her father’s memory. As she meets the other two characters, Nicky and Dave in their local pub and gets drunk, it sets in motion a chaotic series of events that puts all their lives in danger. The now in trouble trio go on the run from a gangster and the police with a bag of stolen cash.
Williams, who played fan favourite Arya Stark in the HBO series, said she is excited to be a part of a new project.
“Looking forward to getting into something new, I think ‘Two Weeks to Live’ has really great potential and I want to make something incredible with this wonderful team,” she told PTI
Gaby Hull is set to write the script and the series will be produced by Kudos, part of Endemol Shine UK.
“With Maisie Williams leading from the front, ‘Two Weeks to Live’ is to die for. Bold, British and very, very original, we can’t wait to wow audiences with even more great comedy,” Jon Mountague, director of comedy at Sky added.
