We're facing a slightly longer wait for new Game Of Thrones this year (curse you, full HBO schedule!) but the series returns in late April with its sixth season. And to give you a taste, here's a red band trailer to tease and taunt you.
As the narrative forges on in unexpected ways, pushing ahead of George R.R. Martin's books, we're all in unexplored territory, and readers are almost as much in the dark as viewers who have only seen the show. From the looks of this, Kit Harington's Jon Snow still appears to be very much among the dead, but it's not exactly a picnic for any of the characters.
And what else can we expect? Well, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) appear ready to exact some vengeance on those who have wronged them, and are facing down the Faith Militant. Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) has been continuing to learn the ways of the warg, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) is in another tricky situation, and without her dragons to hand (though they are still around) and Arya (Maisie Williams) still blind and troubled. Plus there's the usual offering of battles, journeys and sexposition.
Game Of Thrones will be back on Stateside screens on April 24, with a simulcast on Sky Atlantic, and then a likely repeat later on April 25.
