Having landed back in the UK fresh from touring the US, today
Maisie Williams sets foot on the Doctor Who TARDIS to take up a guest
role in the hit BBC One show that returns to our screens this Autumn.
Maisie has already found global fame and is renowned for her role as Arya Stark in the international fantasy drama series Game of Thrones. She also starred in the one-off docu-drama Cyberbully and was cast as one of the leads of Carol Morley’s drama The Falling. As
well as beinga three-time Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee, in
February of this year she was awarded with a Shooting Star Award at the
Berlin Film Festival.
On her first day on set Maisie Williams
said, “I'm so excited to be working on Doctor Who as it’s such a big and
important part of British Culture. I can’t wait to meet the cast and
crew and start filming, especially as we’ll be shooting not too far from
my home town.”
Steven Moffat, lead writer and Executive Producer,
added, “We’re thrilled to have Maisie Williams joining us on Doctor
Who. It’s not possible to say too much about who or what she’s playing,
but she is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. This
time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to
give him exactly the right sort of hell.”
Bursting with drama, wit and heart, the show continues filming with two period adventures - ‘The Girl Who Died’
written by Jamie Mathieson and Steven Moffat, and ‘The Woman Who Lived’
by Catherine Tregenna. Starring Peter Capaldi (The Doctor) and Jenna
Coleman (Clara Oswald), the duo continue to time travel through epic
adventures Directed by Ed Bazalgette (BBC One’s 18th Century drama Poldark).
Comedian and actor Rufus Hound who recently appeared in the series Cucumber also joins the guest cast alongside BBC Three’s Siblings and CBBC’s Horrible Histories star Tom Stourton, Ariyon Bakare, Simon Lipkin, Ian Conningham, Murray McArthur, Barnaby Kay, John Voce, and Struan Rodger.
