Goodbye Arya Stark, hello Kim! Maisie Williams is following up Game of Thrones with a new comedy for Sky (a UK network) currently titled Two Weeks to Live.
The series is described as a comic tale of love and revenge, all sparked by a seemingly harmless prank that goes awry. Williams will play Kim Noakes in the six-part series. The character is described as a young misfit whose father died under murky circumstances when she was a little girl, then her mother whisked her away to live a secluded life complete with bizarre survival techniques. Kim’s now grown up and returns to the real world to honor her father’s memory. There, she meets Nicky, a socially awkward man, and his brother Dave. Their meeting sets in motion events that puts their lives in danger.
“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!” Williams said in a statement.
Like Arya Stark, Kim’s a character of many, uh, unique skills. She knows how to skin a deer to make a sleeping bag, how to strip a pistol in seconds…and can perform all the Dirty Dancing routines.
The series was written by Gaby Hull.
