Winter might be on its way out but Game of Thrones season 6 is on its way to TV screens everywhere on 24 April. This season is more exciting for fans because the show officially overtakes the books from here, thanks to George RR Martin’s apparent refusal to just complete the sixth book already. It also promises to resolve the tension created by season 5’s cliffhanger– did Jon Snow, the bastard of Winterfell, survive his brutal stabbing?
The 80-second clip, set in the gloomy, foreboding Hall of Faces, sweeps across the deathlike faces of all major characters, present and past, with an ominous voiceover of their cult lines. It ends with Jon Snow promising us that ‘the long night is coming’.
To that we say, bring it on.
