Set to the tune of “Sit Down” by James, the trailer features three people who all have some sort of claim to the Iron Throne. Judging from the characters featured in the trailer, we know who our biggest players in the seventh season will be. Cersei Lannister, fresh off lighting the biggest bonfire King’s Landing has ever seen, takes her seat on the Iron Throne. Jon Snow, recently proclaimed King in the North (and, who we now know, is actually a Targaryen) takes his seat at Winterfell. And Daenerys takes a seat in what is most likely Dragonstone, meaning she has arrived in Westeros and reclaimed her family’s ancestral home.
Just when the trailer seems like it will end quietly, Cersei lets out a deep breath, and it is clearly visible. Winter has arrived, and the camera zooms to show the eye of the Night King, who clearly is looking to bring winter down on all of Westeros.
Game of Thrones is rapidly approaching the end of its run, with only two seasons left. Each of those seasons will also be shorter than the ten episodes that have been standard for every season. The seventh season ofย Game of Thrones will premiere on Sunday, July 16 on HBO. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
