GoT Season 6 trailer launched

“Game of Thrones” has been teasing some major footage since the beginning of the weekend. The first lengthy Season 6 trailer, however, landed earlier than expected.

The trailer is set in a room in the House of Black and White where the faces are kept for use by those “no one's” working there. Instead of walls full of unknown faces, however, there are familiar ones. There's Ned Stark and Robb Stark, the latter musing about winning battles and losing wars. There's Catelyn Stark's cold emotion. There's Joffrey speaking about tormenting others and then Jon Snow, dead among the others, his head mounted on a wall. 

Part of the reason for all of the secrecy is that “Game of Thrones” has finally reached new territory.  For the past five seasons, fans of George RR Martin's novels mostly knew what was coming, disregarding the changes that have been made for the small screen. That's not true anymore. Because most of the major plots have caught up with the novels at this point, everything is new.

The vastly popular show premieres on April 24.
