As she gears up for a new television role, the former Game of Thrones star revealed that revisiting the hit fantasy series is emotionally challenging for her.

"If I'm totally honest, anything Game of Thrones, I don't think I can [watch]," Turner admitted. "I can't even hear the theme tune. It gives me crazy anxiety."

Although she said she "had the best time on that show," Turner explained that she remains unable to watch material connected to the franchise.

That includes the spinoff A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

"I'm really excited for the actors on it and I think it'll probably be incredible, because it is that universe, so good luck to everyone involved," she said.
