Meet the cast of Sky One's Two Weeks To Live
Maise Williams, Sian Clifford and Mawaan Rizwan all star in Sky's black comedy drama about mother-and-daughter survivalists.
Maisie Williams (of Arya Stark in Game of Thrones fame) headlines Sky Originals black comedy Two Weeks To Live, which follows a young misfit, Kim, who is accidentally duped into thinking that humanity only has two more weeks to live.
Fleabag star Sian Clifford also joins the cast as Kim's controlling mother who attempts to catch up with her daughter alongside a bunch of gangsters and bent coppers.
Here's everything you need to know about the cast and characters in Two Weeks To Live.
Maisie Williams plays Kim
Who is Kim? A young woman who witnessed her father's death at the age of six. Over a decade later, she's ventured out of the isolated Scottish home she shares with her controlling, survivalist mother and has set out to experience the 'real world' before it ends, while hopefully avenging her father's murder along the way.
Where have I seen Maisie Williams before? Game of Thrones viewers have watched Williams grow up on the HBO fantasy drama, playing the role of Arya Stark, who transforms from privileged tomboy into deadly assassin.
