She had some of the most badass scenes as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. Nearly a year after the hit HBO series ended, Maisie Williams will portray another badass character, this time in the upcoming comedy-drama series Two Weeks to Live.

Last week, Maisie talked about her new Sky TV series at the Sky Up Next 2020 event in London.

Maisie, who described her new role as her “biggest” since GoT, told the audience: “Kim [played by Maisee] has been living with her overprotective mother for 16 years, and they’ve been in a very remote place. The story begins with Kim leaving home in search of a normal life and she meets two boys and they try to show her the fun things in life and as they get to know her better they realize there are some complicated things in her past.”

SKY’s Director of Comedy Jon Mountague said of Maisie’s starring role: “With Maisie Williams leading from the front, Two Weeks to Live is to die for. Bold, British and very, very original.”

For the event, Maisie wore a black Olivier Theyskens Spring 2020 dress. The chic frock highlighted her figure with its cinched waist and low-cut bustier bodice. It also has a fitted skirt that flares out from the knees into a fishtail hemline.

Stylist Monica Zafra accessorized Maisie’s look with a delicate Cartier necklace and a pair of hoop earrings. She amped up the look with a pair of black suede Prada sandals, which showed off her colorful toenails and pretty feet.

These sandals feature a baroque-style design with gold trims and about 3.5-inch heels.
