Sophie Turner says she was happy with Sansa Stark's Game of Thrones ending

Movieweb reports Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark, told The Direct she was "very happy with the way Sansa ended her story in 'Game of Thrones,'" and that revisiting the role would be "hard."

Turner said she joked that any return would require them to "show me the money," but added more seriously that she felt she "got a good one" while many other cast members were unhappy with their endings. The article notes the series reached its divisive conclusion in 2019, and that Sansa becoming Queen of the North was an outcome Turner felt was right for the character.

The piece also outlines the current spinoff landscape: more than seven spinoffs were once considered after 2019, most were scrapped, and House of the Dragon has continued, with a third season set to release this year and a fourth described as final in the next couple of years. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is due later this month and is expected on January 18, and George R.R. Martin said toward the end of 2025 that multiple prequels, sequels and spinoffs are again being considered, though these do not seem to include the once-planned Jon Snow sequel. For now, Turner remains content with how Sansa's story ended while the possibility of original-series returns remains uncertain.
