Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) , Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) prepare for battle in a teaser for HBO series « Game of Thrones. »
May 24 (UPI) — Game of Thrones released a first Season 7 trailer Wednesday that previews « the great war » to come.
The teaser shows Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) , Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) prepare to battle for control of the Seven Kingdoms.
Cersei’s brothers — Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) — and Jon’s half-sisters — Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) — are also shown. The trailer also features a glimpse of Daenerys’ now-huge dragons.
Game of Thrones will return for an abbreviated seventh season in July. Coster-Waldau and Harington recently said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the season will have a faster pace than previous ones.
« I feel like I’d been lulled into a different pace, » Coster-Waldau said. « Everything happened quicker than I’m used to … a lot of things that normally take a season now take one episode. »
« This season is really different than any other season because it’s accelerating toward the end, a lot of stuff collides and happens much quicker than you’re used to seeing on Thrones, » Harington added. « It’s so different than what everybody is used to. It’s quite exciting. »
Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres July 16.
