Watch the New Trailer for Game of Thrones

Fans of HBO’s highly anticipated series Game of Thrones were given a big boost yesterday after the show released its first promotional teaser trailer for season seven.

“I know what my father was, what he did. I know the mad king earned his name.” Emilia Clarke, speaking as Daenerys Targaryen, intones off-camera. On screen during the 90-second spot, viewers are treated to an ominous display of stone animals, representing each of the major families, swirling around each other before crumbling to the ground.

“There’s only one war that matters” says Kit Harington, also known as Jon Snow. “The great war, and it is here.” The trailer leaves no mistake that the new series will prominently feature the ultimate struggle against White Walkers and the continued decay and infighting of the great families of Westeros.

The season premiere of Game of Thrones season seven will be on July 16, 2017.
