Sophie Turneris up for playing Sansa Stark once again — just give her 20 years.
The actress spoke withPorterEditabout recentlytying the knotwith husbandJoe Jonasand the show’scontroversialending.
“Maybe we should do a season nine?” Turner laughingly suggested after PorterEdit’s Jane Mulkerrins voiced her disappointment about Sansa and Tyrion Lannister not getting together in the end.
“In 20 years, when I’m old and haggard and out of work, I’ll definitely be up for a season nine,” she joked.
Although Turner loved playing Sansa for a decade of her life, she’s ready to leave that chapter in the past.

Ahead of the long-awaited finale, Turner shared an emotional post to herInstagram, thanking her character and the show for the past decade together alongside photos of the cast from behind the scenes of filming.
“Sansa, Thank you for teaching me resilience, bravery and what true strength really is,” Turner began the heartfelt tribute. “Thank you for teaching me to be kind and patient and to lead with love.”
Turner was cast as the eldest Stark sister when she was 13 years old. Like most of the cast, she grew up with her character, portraying Sansa during some of her most formative years.
“I grew up with you. I fell in love with you at 13 and now 10 years on.. at 23 I leave you behind,” continued Turner, who recentlytied the knot with Joe Jonas. “But I will never leave behind what you’ve taught me.”
