Were you surprised by the ending to Game Of Thrones?

*WARNING: SPOILERS*

So was the cast, apparently.

According to Buzzfeed, Maisie Williams, aka Arya Stark, recently revealed that she and costar Kit Harrington were told way back in Season Three that Harrington’s character, Jon Snow, not Arya, would be the one to kill the Night King.

Instead, of course, it was Arya who ended up with the dagger – a moment that Williams thinks was “the best storyline of the final season”.
