If the walls in Sansa Stark’s home could talk, they’d have a mighty big spoiler to share with the rest of the class. In Rolling Stone’s cover story on Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, the actor who has played Sansa on Game of Thrones for eight seasons said her final day of filming was full of tears ("Because I cry at everything") and one very spoiler-ific storyboard. Turner’s reaction to Game of Thrones ending and to the storyboard of Sansa’s final scene that GoT showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss gave her will leave you sobbing into your goblet of mead.
And that storyboard that maps out the end of Sansa’s story? Oh, it is not currently locked up in a hidden safe on a remote island. Rather, that storyboard of Sansa’s final scene is currently hanging up in Turner’s house. And apparently nobody knows there’s a storyboard of Sansa’s final scene hanging up in her house (well, until now, that is). So uh, if you’re pals with Turner but allergic to GoT spoilers, maybe steer clear of her place until the series finale airs.
Turner’s talked about Benioff and Weiss handing out these sentimental parting gifts to the cast before. In a July 2018 interview with Digital Spy, Turner recounted Benioff and Weiss giving her a storyboard of "their favorite scene" of Sansa on her final day in Winterfell. She said,
The storyboard came up again in October 2018 at a New York Comic Con panel hosted by Entertainment Weekly. According to Newsweek, Turner said,
And now we know Benioff and Weiss’s favorite Sansa scene is Sansa’s very last scene. I know Season 8 doesn’t start until April 14, but is it too early to start weeping?
Without giving away how the whole kit and caboodle wraps up, Turner told Rolling Stone she’s “very satisfied with the ending of the entire show,” adding that every storyline “came to a really good close.” Williams noted that there are “a lot of similarities” between the first season and the final season, which is an observation she expanded on in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. “After reading the scripts I went back and watched season 1 again because so much of it refers back to that season,” Williams EW. “There are so many scenes that will look similar.” She also promised “a lot of death this year,” which feels about right.
We’ll find out which characters die, who ultimately takes the Iron Throne, and what is on Sansa’s storyboard when the final season of Game of Thrones premieres next month.
