'Game of Thrones' final season refers back to first season, says Maisie Williams

Actor Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones", says first season of show plays a huge role in what happens in eighth and final season of fantasy drama. Details about final season of HBO series are few and far between but cast has teased a "bittersweet" ending.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Williams said she re-watched first season.

"After reading scripts I went back and watched season one again because so much of it refers back to that season," Williams said. 

"re are so many scenes that will look similar. And also I watched just to remind myself of arc I've taken already. I wanted Arya to go full circle and try for some kind of rmalcy like when she was younger, she added.

Williams said Arya will strive to find rmalcy without letting go off her plan to kill Cersei.

"This year it's like she has a dual personality re are so many emotions and memories that come flooding back when you're with your family and things that you fight for become very different, yet she's also remaining on this path to try and kill Cersei and remembering her list and getting closer to that. So re's this split with Arya between trying to be who she wants to be getting back to na vet and incence with her family and unfinished business," said actor. 

final season of Game of Thrones begins airing from April 14.
