His recent comments imply the fan-favorite character wasn't going to make it past season 7.
about how excited he was to cameo in the season 7 premiere, where he plays a Lannister soldier who comes across Arya Stark , and how all the mean people online sullied the experience for him when the episode finally came out. The cameo was in part meant to be a surprise for Williams, who’s a big fan of Sheeran’s music. But in explaining why producers were so invested in giving Williams this special moment, Sheeran inadvertently revealed that season 7 was meant to be Arya’s last.
“I don’t think they had written the ending yet,” Sheeran told the hosts. “It was meant to be her last season but it wasn’t. And as a surprise for her, [they got] me on. So, she was meant to turn up on set. and I was by the fire.” Clearly story plans changed, but that Arya’s death was even a possibility that late in the game is, frankly, kind of wild. In season 8 she of course goes on to kill The Night King, arguably one of the most pivotal moments in the series, at least per the mythology they spent eight seasons building up.
Arya’s story arc in season 7 featured her returning to the Stark family home Winterfell, only to get locked into a tense battle of wits with Sansa , with master manipulator Littlefinger playing off of the sisters’ historic dislike of each other to fuel matters.
But with Sheeran’s comments, one wonders now if showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss didn’t originally toy with the idea of Littlefinger successfully driving the sisters apart. Which calls into question what his and Sansa’s roles in the series endgame would have been going forward. And if Arya was potentially disposable, what is her role in George R.R.
