'Game of Thrones' Season 6 TRAILER: 6 Things We Learned From Newest Glimpse At Highly-Anticipated New Episodes [WATCH]
There's just under two weeks to go until the highly anticipated season six premiere of Game of Thrones, and knowing that fans are barely able to contain their excitement, the show has dropped another epic trailer to further whet their appetites.
The new trailer, which runs just over two minutes in length, shows a large amount of footage that wasn't shown in the first one, featuring scenes with characters who didn't get a lot of screen time or even anything to say the first time around. And while some of the biggest questions still aren't answered, the show does give some intriguing hints about what to expect in the new season.
Here are 6 things we learned from the new clip:
Jon Snow Is Still Dead
Remember when you saw Jon Snow's (Kit Harington) lifeless body in the first trailer, and how fiercely Davos (Liam Cunningham) and Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) were trying to protect it? Well, he's still dead in this clip, too—and it seems even Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) has given up on believing Jon was the answer to the Wildling's problems.
Arya's Blindness—and Punishment—Are Only Temporary
After taking Ser Meryn's life without permission, Arya (Maisie Williams) was punished by Jaqen H'gar (Tom Wlaschiha) and blinded. However, it appears the punishment won't be too long, as he's seen giving her a second chance in the clip—though he does warn her she won't get another if she disobeys again.
Sansa Is Out For Blood and Wants Revenge
She escaped the Boltons with Theon (Alfie Allen), but that doesn't mean Sansa (Sophie Turner) isn't after getting revenge for what they did to her—or what the Freys did to her mother and brother at the Red Wedding.
Cersei Learned Nothing From Her Imprisonment
Not that we expected her to have really atoned for the sins that got her locked up by the Faith Militant, but there's not an ounce of repent in Cersei (Lena Headey) now it seems. She seems more bloodthirsty than ever—though it's unclear if she's focusing solely there or if she's setting sights on Dorne as well after Myrcella's murder.
More Blood Than Ever Is Going To Be Spilled
It wouldn't be a season of Game of Thrones without scores of secondary characters and extras being killed off, or even a few fan favorites and major characters meeting their end either, but this season seems to have a particularly bloodier tone, with two different people definitely getting swords shoved through their bodies in just the trailer.
The Dead Are Coming
Now that winter has arrived, the show likely needs a new catchphrase to replace it—and with the White Walkers inching closer and closer to Westeros, the threat that comes with them could bring one of the show's most epic battles yet.
Game of Thrones season 6 premieres Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
