Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams: 'Nothing will prepare you' for season seven

Game of Thrones

star Maisie Williams has just got her hands on the scripts for the show's much-anticipated seventh season - and she promises fans they're in for a wild ride.

The 19-year-old actress, who plays Arya Stark in the hit show, raved about the upcoming season in a series of tweets:

Williams' tweets are almost cruel given fans will have to wait until June next year before the seventh season airs on TV.

According to Fox News, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed in July that production on the hit drama had to be delayed to accommodate the fact that winter has now arrived in Westeros.

"We're starting a little bit later because, you know, [at] the end of the season 'Winter is here,' and that means sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes anymore. So we kind of pushed everything down the line so we can get some grim grey weather, even in the sunnier places we shoot," Weiss said

It's going to be a long 10 months ...
