Hollywood actor Sophie Turner, famous for the role of Sansa Stark in the hit show Game of Thrones, is all set to make a comeback on television with Survive. Turner said that it was an honor to portray Jane's character. She further added that Jane is a complex character who is fighting against all odds in a hostile environment to save her life and also to find courage and strength. 

'Survive'

Sophie hoped that her latest role will inspire all those who are wrestling with the issue of self-worth to know they are way better and stronger than the problems facing them. Directed by Mark Pellington, the thriller series will also have Corey Hawkins as one of the other prominent characters. The sitcom will feature around a plot that will have Turner and Hawkins as the only two plane crash survivors on an isolated slow clad mountain. The duo will be seen as they fight for their lives in conditions not favorable to the human body. Survive is based on author, Alex Morel's book by the same name.
