Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner reveals that she was surprised at Sansa Stark’s fate in the series finale.

On the upcoming Blu-ray release of the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones, a featurette reveals Sophie Turner’s reaction upon reading the final scene for Sansa Stark. The series finale separates the Stark family into different paths, including Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark crowned as the Queen of Winterfell.

Here is what Sophie Turner had to say about Sansa Stark crowned as Queen of Winterfell during the series finale of Game of Thrones: 

“I can’t really describe the moment I read the final scene. I think it was just so overwhelming and I kind of kept reading and re-reading and re-reading and I felt a bit numb afterwards because I never thought I would be reading the final scene.”

Earlier this year, HBO aired the final season of Game of Thrones, which received a mixed-to-negative response from critics and fans alike. In particular, the series finale “The Iron Throne” left some cold. But even with the backlash to the final season, some responded well to Sophie Turner’s Sansa Stark being crowned as Queen of Winterfell after all the character had experienced throughout the series.
