Sign in to your ScreenRant account A project reuniting Game of Thrones stars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner has been scrapped. Williams and Turner played sisters Arya and Sansa Stark in all eight Game of Thrones seasons. After a contentious relationship in season 1, they were separated for most of the series, before finally reuniting in seasons 7 and 8. The two actors became close friends in real life and appeared together in a 2017 episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series.

What is the name of their castle? AHighgarden BStorm’s End CCasterly Rock DThe Eyrie ✓ Correct! Casterly Rock sits atop gold mines in the Westerlands and has been the seat of House Lannister for centuries. The gold beneath it is the source of the family’s legendary wealth — though as Tywin once noted, the mines ran dry years ago. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Casterly Rock. Highgarden belongs to the Tyrells, Storm’s End to the Baratheons, and The Eyrie to the Arryns. Casterly Rock has been the Lannister stronghold since Lann the Clever swindled it from House Casterly. NEXT → 02 Jon Snow rises through the ranks of the Night’s Watch to eventually hold what title — the highest position in the order? AFirst Ranger BLord Commander CMaster of Arms DWarden of the North ✓ Correct! Jon Snow was elected the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch by his sworn brothers. He was one of the youngest men to ever hold the title, following in the footsteps of legends like Jeor Mormont. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Lord Commander. While Jon started as a steward, he was elected Lord Commander after the death of Jeor Mormont. Warden of the North is a different title entirely — one held by the Stark family. NEXT → 03 Daenerys Targaryen hatches three dragons from petrified eggs. Which of the following is NOT one of her dragons? ABalerion BDrogon CRhaegal DViserion ✓ Correct! Balerion “the Black Dread” was Aegon the Conqueror’s dragon, who died of old age over a century before the events of the show. Daenerys’ three dragons are Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — named after Khal Drogo, Rhaegar, and Viserys. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Balerion. Daenerys’ three dragons are Drogon (black and red), Rhaegal (green and bronze), and Viserion (cream and gold). Balerion the Black Dread was Aegon the Conqueror’s mount, dead long before Daenerys was born. NEXT → 04 The Red Wedding is one of the most shocking moments in TV history. At whose castle does this massacre take place? AHarrenhal BRiverrun CCasterly Rock DThe Twins ✓ Correct! The Red Wedding took place at The Twins, the castle of House Frey. Lord Walder Frey violated the sacred guest right by slaughtering Robb Stark, Catelyn Stark, and their bannermen during the wedding feast of Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is The Twins. Walder Frey’s castle — two towers spanning the Green Fork — was where he broke sacred guest right to massacre the Starks. “The Lannisters send their regards” remains one of the show’s most chilling lines. NEXT → 05 Jon Snow wields a Valyrian steel bastard sword given to him by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont. What is the sword’s name? AIce BLongclaw CHeartsbane DOathkeeper ✓ Correct! Longclaw is a Valyrian steel bastard sword that was the ancestral weapon of House Mormont. Jeor gave it to Jon after he saved the Lord Commander from a wight, replacing the bear pommel with a white wolf for House Stark. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Longclaw. Ice was the Stark greatsword (melted down by Tywin Lannister), Heartsbane belonged to House Tarly, and Oathkeeper was one of the two swords forged from Ice. Longclaw is the Mormont blade Jon carries throughout the series. NEXT → 06 Tyrion Lannister serves as Hand of the King to which ruler, expertly managing the defense of King’s Landing during the Battle of the Blackwater? ARobert Baratheon BTommen Baratheon CJoffrey Baratheon DDaenerys Targaryen ✓ Correct! Tywin sent Tyrion to serve as Hand in his place during Joffrey’s reign. Tyrion brilliantly orchestrated the defense against Stannis Baratheon’s fleet using wildfire, though he received no credit and was nearly killed in the battle. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Joffrey Baratheon. Tyrion served as Joffrey’s Hand of the King in Season 2, appointed by his father Tywin. He later served as Hand to Daenerys, but it was under Joffrey that the Battle of the Blackwater took place. NEXT → 07 Jon Snow’s true parentage is one of the show’s biggest reveals. What is his real Targaryen name, given by his mother Lyanna Stark? AAegon Targaryen BAemon Targaryen CRhaegar Targaryen DJaehaerys Targaryen ✓ Correct! Lyanna Stark named her son Aegon Targaryen. He is the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna, who were secretly married. This made Jon the true heir to the Iron Throne — a fact that changed the course of the final season. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Aegon Targaryen. Lyanna whispered the name to Ned Stark in the Tower of Joy. Jon is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen (not named after him), making him Aegon — a name carried by many Targaryen kings, including the Conqueror himself. NEXT → 08 In the series finale, who is chosen by the lords and ladies of Westeros to rule the Six Kingdoms as king? AJon Snow BSansa Stark CTyrion Lannister DBran Stark ✓ Correct! Bran Stark — now Bran the Broken — was chosen as king of the Six Kingdoms at the Dragonpit council. Tyrion argued that Bran’s story was the most compelling reason to rule. Sansa became Queen in the North, and Jon was sent back to the Wall. ✗ Dracarys! The answer is Bran Stark. Tyrion nominated Bran at the great council, arguing “who has a better story than Bran the Broken?” Sansa was crowned Queen in the independent North, Jon returned to the Wall, and Tyrion served as Bran’s Hand of the King.

She confirmed that they are continuing to read material and are trying to make an on-screen reunion happen. Check out Williams' comments below: We've been really trying to find something. There was a show a few years ago, which was these two girls who worked in a weed shop in California. I can't remember what happens. They find a dead body or something. It was a comedy, and it was hilarious. We're reading a lot of material. I think at some point something will stick and we'll get to share the screen together again. It would be the best. While the opportunity to star in the aforementioned comedy series didn't work out, Williams and Turner continuing to look for another project should come as welcome news for Game of Thrones fans and those of the real-life actors. It also helps that both have continued to star in other movies and shows as they remain active in the industry. The interview with Collider comes as part of the press tour for Practical Magic 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 1998 cult classic. Williams plays Antonia Owens, the sister of Kylie Owens (Joey King), both of whom are the daughters of Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock). They were recast in the roles that belonged to Alexandra Artrip and Evan Rachel Wood in the original movie. Since Game of Thrones ended, Williams has also played the roles of Rahne Sinclair in New Mutants, Kim Noakes in the miniseries Two Weeks to Live, and Catherine Dior in Apple TV's The New Look. Weeks after the Game of Thrones series finale, Turner appeared as Jean Grey in Dark Phoenix. After this, she played the titular character in the crime drama series Joan, Lauren Lane in the thriller film Trust, and Zara Dunne in Prime Video's crime thriller series Steal. She also portrayed Anne in the Gothic horror film The Dreadful, in which she reunited with Game of Thrones co-star Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow. Additionally, Turner landed her most high-profile role since Game of Thrones as Lara Croft in Prime Video's new Tomb Raider series. Created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who serves as showrunner alongside Chad Hodge, the cast also features Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Martin Bob-Semple, Bill Paterson, Celia Imrie, Jack Bannon, John Heffernan, and Paterson Joseph. As the next iteration of a hit IP and a show that Prime Video undoubtedly wants to run for numerous seasons, this could prove to be one of the biggest obstacles to finding a new project with Game of Thrones' Williams in the near future. As the protagonist of the series, Turner's schedule is now much busier, especially if it is renewed for additional seasons. While a new project together may not happen soon, Williams makes it clear that they are committed to eventually working together again, though.
