Why Sophie Turner Doesn't Want to Watch Game of Thrones Spinoff Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Sophie Turner experiences intense anxiety from the Game of Thrones theme and franchise, causing her to avoid the new spin-off despite supporting its cast and production.

  • Sophie Turner told journalist James B. Street in an Instagram video that she will not watch A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms because even hearing the original show's theme tune causes her intense anxiety.
  • Earlier this month Turner explained heavy subject matter led her to step away after Game of Thrones in 2019, feeling like an adult at a young age.
  • Offering encouragement, Sophie Turner said she won't be watching A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms but wished good luck to Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell.
  • Early reviews show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms earned positive response, HBO greenlit a second season, while Sophie Turner recently suggested she would be unlikely to reprise Sansa.
  • Next up, Turner will star in Amazon's Tomb Raider series alongside Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs, Bill Paterson, Paterson Joseph and Celia Imrie; first images released last week show her as Lara Croft.
