" There&amp;#039;s been much speculation surrounding Maisie Williams&amp;#039;s future on\u00A0Doctor Who, but the actress just disappointed us all by saying she won&amp;#039;t be returning.\u00A0 The Game of Thrones star has accompanied the Doctor for the last time, and will instead focus on &amp;quot;other really exciting projects&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not going to be working on Doctor Who again,&amp;quot;\u00A0she told BANG Showbiz. &amp;quot;Everyone&amp;#039;s hyping about it, which is very exciting, but I guess that&amp;#039;s more of a publicity thing. But no, I&amp;#039;m not going to return, I have a lot of other really exciting projects lined up instead.&amp;quot;  Williams played the recurring role of\u00A0Ashildr in the latest series of Doctor Who, prompting many to debate whether she could replace Jenna Coleman as The Doctor&amp;#039;s next companion.\u00A0 The actress will return to\u00A0Game of Thrones\u00A0as Arya Stark in the HBO fantasy drama&amp;#039;s sixth season in April. Meanwhile, Broadchurch creator\u00A0Chris Chibnall will take over\u00A0as Doctor Who showrunner in 2018, following Steven Moffat&amp;#039;s swansong series next year\u00A0- there&amp;#039;ll be no full\u00A0series in 2016.
