About The Dreadful
The Dreadful is set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses, following Anne (Sophie Turner) and her mother-in-law, Morwen (Marcia Gay Harden), who will be shown living a harsh life on the outskirts. Things start changing when a man (Kit Harington) returns from their past, setting off a sequence of unexpected events. Laurence O'Fuarain and Jonathan Howard also star in the film. Further details about the plot and the release date are still unknown.
Sophie and Kit were among the key characters of 'Game of Thrones,' which ran for eight seasons between 2011 and 2019. Sophie's Sansa Stark was the daughter of Ned Stark, who was assumed to have fathered Jon Snow outside his marriage. Thus, the actors played half-siblings in the show, only for a different twist to be unveiled toward the series' end.
