Fans of Game of Thrones know that the final two seasons of the show are going to be intense, and will still see the deaths of some of their favorite characters, but they're not the only ones who may be frightened about things coming to an end.

Maisie Williams, who portrays Arya Stark on the series, has also admitted to having fears about the show's end, though more because she's afraid of losing the "safety blanket" the show has provided her through the years when it comes to finding work.

"It's really strange. It's exciting because there's so many things I haven't been able to give my all because I've been such a huge part of Game of Thrones-so it is exciting thinking I can do whatever I want with my career. But it's also just really scary because that's been my safety blanket and if I've not done any other work, I've been like, 'It's fine because I've got 'Game Of Thrones,' and when that won't be there...it's just scary," she said.  

As for the show's upcoming seventh season, Williams didn't reveal much, but did say that things would definitely continue heating up as the show comes closer to its conclusion, including for Arya, who has returned to Westeros after spending two seasons in Bravos, receiving training with the Faceless Men.

"This year it really kind of heats up," she said. "Coming to the end of last season, the final episode, it really felt like we were just setting up for the finale. Everyone gets their trials and everyone gets their tribulations. Particularly for Arya, there's some high points and there's some real low points too."

Game of Thrones returns this summer on HBO.
