The teaser is mostly just close-up shots of the show’s all-star cast looking dramatic and grim. (The second season features Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch, to name a few.) But don’t worry, the trailer has more than just meaningful stares—there are some fist fights and guns in there too. The new season premieres on HBO on June 21.
