Former 'Game of Thrones' Co-Stars Kit Harington and Sophie Turner to Reunite In 'The Dreadful'

While there is plenty to complain about when it comes to the last few seasons of Game of Thrones, one of the things the show consistently did right throughout its run was its depiction of the Stark clan, the long-suffering custodial wards of the North and a family who spent most of the series apart, struggling to get back to one another as more and more of their number were tortured, traumatized, or tragically killed.

But, as the saying that the Starks themselves were so fond of proving goes: The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. And now two members of that fan-favorite pack are set to reunite on the big screen: Sophie Turner, who played Sansa Stark the eldest daughter who reclaimed the throne of the North for her family, and Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow, the bastard son who was actually a secret Targaryen prince. (Just go with it, it's all very complicated even before you get to the part where the revelation of Jon's true parentage hasn't even happened in George R.R. Martin's books yet.) The duo were the first of the Starks to reunite onscreen, and though it took them over five seasons to do so, the moment was highly emotional and well worth the wait.

Now, Turner and Harington are both set to star in The Dreadful, a Gothic period horror film set during the Wars of the Roses. (If Thrones fans find some delicious irony here, it's because the inter-familial struggle for the English throne during this period was actually a big inspiration for Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.)
