Sophie Turner Talks Game of Thrones on BAFTAs Red Carpet
By Ani Bundel
At the BAFTAs red carpet event last night, Sophie Turner continued teasing Game of Thrones season 7 spoilers for Sansa Stark.
The BAFTA film awards were held last night across the pond, the final prognosticator award show ahead of the Oscars at the end of the month. Though the event is mostly one where the stars of the British film academy come out, along with the Americans they deigned to invite, a few actors and actresses from the TV side of the BAFTAs were on hand as well. (Unlike America, the BAFTAs follow the Golden Globes model of honoring both TV and Film under one umbrella. Unlike the Globes, though they hold separate awards show for each.)
One of those stars of TV, who has been working hard to break into film, with such entries as X-Men: Apocalypse, is Sophie Turner. She spent time on the red carpet last night (you can see where we ranked her in terms of her outfit yesterday), and rubbed shoulders with producers and gave interviews to eager entertainment reporters. They of course, were breathless to ask her about Game of Thrones season 7.
Speaking to HeyUGuys, Turner gave away as little as she could, while teasing the coming season hard. The relevant part starts about 50 seconds in.
"“We’re about to start shooting the next X-Men, we’ve just finished shooting Season 7 of [Game of] Thrones, and I’ve got a couple of movies to do before X-Men starts. And then we go on to Season 8.”"
Note the “we.” Does that means Sansa Stark is definitely surviving this coming season, and will live to see the final episodes and the horrors of the Night King and the battle for humanity during The Long Night?

But then again, we know from other actors that actually not everyone has finished shooting Game of Thrones season 7–it maybe go as long as March before everyone is done. So perhaps Turner is using more of a royal “we.” Either way, we can take this as proof that Sansa Stark’s part has finished filming for the season. Whether or not she survives to get to season 8 is still a mystery.
