Maisie Williams has just kicked Game of Thrones finale rumors into high gear with a single bloody post.
21-year-old Williams has been starring on the hit HBO fantasy as Arya Stark since she was 12 and had quickly become a fan favorite.
The starlet took to social media to bid farewell to the show, sharing a farewell post on Instagram after wrapping her final day on set.
She captioned the photo of herself wearing bloodied-up white sneakers with “Goodbye Belfast. goodbye Arya. goodbye Game of Thrones. what a joy I’ve had. here’s to the adventures to come.” Following that came a hashtag that immediately caused rumors to whirl among GoT fans: #lastwomanstanding.
With storyline and character details kept in complete secrecy, it’s safe to assume that Williams actually meant that she is the last female cast member to finish filming. Some fans pointed out that the show is filmed out of sequence so the post isn’t telling of how far Amelia Clarke’s character made it in the final season.
This goodbye post comes just two weeks after Clarke herself shared her adieu from the show, writing, “Hopped on a boat to an island to say goodbye to the land that has been my home away from home for almost a decade. It’s been a trip @gameofthrones thank you for the life I never dreamed I’d be able to live and the family I’ll never stop missing #💔#lastseasonitis.
Production on the eighth and final season of Thrones has been in production since October. The six-episode season is set to premiere in 2019.
