Sophie Turner Lands First TV Role Since 'Game of Thrones' With New Show

Sophie Turner is channeling her artistic talent back into TV. The Game of Thrones star, who played Sansa Stark on the smash HBO hit, just signed on to Survive, a series that will air on a new streaming platform called Quibi.

According to Digital Spy, Survive is based on the 2012 novel by Alex Morel, which chronicles the journey of a young woman named Jane, who decides she wants to take her own life after leaving a mental health center. On her plane ride back home, there is a fatal crash which only she and a young man named Paul (played by Corey Hawkins) survive.

Turner said of her new casting:

"I couldn't be more honoured to portray the role of Jane in Survive for Quibi. She's a complex character fighting against the odds to not only save her life, but to also find her own source of strength and courage. I only hope this can impact anyone struggling with self-worth to understand they are braver than they know and to seek the support they need."

Quibi is set to launch on April 6, 2020.
