The first trailer for Game of Thrones season 6 has arrived, and it doesn’t disappoint.
Among decisions to do battle and epic moments with your returning favorites (Cersei in particular with that “I choose violence” line), the last moments of the GOT season 6 trailer depict Jon Snow about to face certain death. We’re led to believe his head is about to meet a sword! It’s all presented with the wildly appropriate “Wicked Game” performed by James Vincent McMorrow playing in the background.
At least Kit Harrington was being truthful yesterday when he said he is coming back… as a dead man. Only time will tell if Jon Snow will be revived by Red Priestess Melisandre.
Watch the new trailer below:
This is the first time we’re watching a major Game of Thrones trailer without knowing how loyal it is to George R.R. Martin’s original material. The TV show has now caught up with where Martin left things off at the end of 2011’s A Dance of Dragons. With season 6 set to air before Winds of Winter is published (He tried to beat HBO to the punch though!), and HBO recently announcing that they wouldn’t be sending out any screeners to the media, this season is set to rack up record-breaking viewership numbers.
Season 6 premieres April 24 on HBO.
