Maisie Williams to Star in Sky Comedy TWO WEEKS TO LIVE

"Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams is on board to lead the cast of the upcoming Sky original comedy series "Two Weeks to Live". The six-part show will be produced by Kudos, a television production company best known for "The Tunnel" and "Humans".

Written by Gaby Hull ("Cheat"), the story follows Kim Noakes (Williams), a strange young misfit who was just a little girl when her father died in murky circumstances. Following his death, her mother whisked her away to a remote rural life of seclusion and bizarre survival techniques. Now all grown up, she finds herself on the run from a murderous gangster and the police with a massive bag of stolen cash, and the survival techniques she has picked up from her upbringing will prove to be immensely useful.

Additional casting is underway and filming is expected to begin later this year.

Future Sky originals include the four-part miniseries "Catherine the Great" starring Helen Mirren; the comedy series "Intelligence" with David Schwimmer; the 10-episode comedy "Breeders" starring Martin Freeman; and the second season of "In the Long Run" with Idris Elba.
