Game of Thrones Stars Reunite as Lovers in Gothic Horror Film

Sophie Turner and Kit Harington, known for playing siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow on Game of Thrones, are reuniting as romantic leads in the upcoming gothic horror film The Dreadful. Set during the 15th-century Wars of the Roses, the film follows Turner's character Anne and her mother-in-law, with Harington playing a mysterious man from Anne's past whose arrival triggers dramatic events. Turner has openly expressed that transitioning from playing siblings to lovers alongside Harington feels "really weird for all of us," acknowledging the unusual dynamic given their long-standing on-screen familial relationship. Despite this, Turner personally recommended Harington for the role, excited to collaborate with her old friend again in a project inspired by historical events that also influenced Game of Thrones. The film also stars Marcia Gay Harden and is directed by Natasha Kermani, promising to offer fans a fresh and darker side to the beloved actors' chemistry. Fans familiar with the pair's Game of Thrones history may find the romantic pairing surprising, but the film presents a unique opportunity for Turner and Harington to explore new roles together.
