Former Game of Thrones stars Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite on screen, this time bound by desire, fear and medieval dread.
Nearly a decade after leaving Westeros behind, Sophie Turner and Kit Harington are sharing the screen once again — but nothing about ‘The Dreadful’ feels familiar. Released by Lionsgate, the film’s first trailer introduces a bleak, gothic world set during the War of the Roses, where romance and horror bleed into one another under constant threat.
Directed by Natasha Kermani, the project marks the duo’s first on-screen reunion since ‘Game of Thrones’, reimagining their former sibling dynamic as something far more intimate and unsettling. Turner stars as Anne, a young woman living in isolation with her oppressive mother-in-law Morwen, played by Marcia Gay Harden, on the margins of a society shaped by war, superstition and silence.
That fragile equilibrium fractures with the arrival of Jago (Harington), a soldier returning from the battlefield with a shared past and unresolved tension. As he re-enters Anne’s life, the film hints at a slow-burning descent into paranoia, repression and a supernatural curse that refuses to stay buried. The trailer leans heavily into atmosphere — candlelit interiors, damp stone walls and a sense of menace that feels both psychological and otherworldly.
Far removed from epic fantasy, ‘The Dreadful’ positions itself as a more intimate, unsettling exploration of power, trauma and forbidden connection. It’s a stark tonal shift for Turner and Harington, grounding their performances in historical unease rather than spectacle.
Set for theatrical and digital release on 20 February, ‘The Dreadful’ arrives not as a nostalgic reunion, but as a reminder of how far both actors have travelled — and how effectively they can unsettle when expectations are left behind.
