With less than a month to go until Game of Thrones returns for its highly anticipated seventh season, HBO has released a second trailer for the beloved fantasy drama.
Featuring action-packed new footage from the show’s upcoming seven-episode run — that builds on the Great War theme of the May 24 trailer — the preview opens with a shot of Sansa walking away from Winterfell’s godswood set to an ominous voiceover from Littlefinger. From there, almost every major character — from Jon to Cersei to Daenerys — is shown preparing for the wars to come.
Season seven of Game of Thrones will premiere July 16 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
Watch the trailer above.
