The 19-year-old was at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Texas on Sunday with on screen sister Turner.

Discussing the upcoming final seasons alongside showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the actress revealed to the crowd that Sansa might not make it to season eight, reports express.co.uk.
