Sophie Turner Comments on Sansa’s Fate in Game of Thrones Series Finale

Following last night’s conclusion of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner spoke with Entertainment Weekly about Sansa’s fate at the end of the series finale.

While Bran Stark was named king of the now Six Kingdoms, Sansa is crowned Queen in the North after she is finally able to reestablish the North as an independent country. When asked if Turner was upset Sansa didn’t end up on the Iron Throne, the actress said she “wasn’t bummed at all.”

“Ever since the end of season 1, Sansa has not been about the capital or being queen,” Turner explained. “She doesn’t believe she could rule and doesn’t want to. She knows her place is in the North and she can rule the people of the North and rule Winterfell. She’d probably be capable [of being queen of the Seven Kingdoms] with the help of her family and advisors like Tyrion. But she has no desire to be ruler of all of the Seven Kingdoms.”

Based on the popular book series A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin, the Emmy-winning fantasy series chronicles an epic struggle for power in a vast and violent kingdom. The series stars Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Kit Harington, Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams.

Executive producers of Game of Thrones Season 8 are David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger, and Bernadette Caulfield; co-executive producers are Martin, Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis and Bryan Cogman; and producers are Chris Newman, Greg Spence, and Lisa McAtackney.

The final season of Game of Thrones likely won’t be our last trip to Westeros, as HBO has greenlit a pilot set 1,000 years before the events of the wildly popular sword and sorcery epic. Naomi Watts and Josh Whitehouse have been cast in the as-yet-untitled prequel series. S.J. Clarkson (The DefendersJessica Jones) will direct the pilot.
