The first thing Game Of Thrones released to tease its upcoming sixth season was a poster featuring the presumed-dead-but-totally-still-alive Jon Snow. And now there’s a 41-second teaser that also begins with the definitely-alive-and-not-in-that-White-Walker-way Commander of the Night’s Watch.
But cryptically, the opening narration comes from Max von Sydow the new voice of the Three-Eyed Raven, who will provide guidance to Bran Stark as he travels north of the Wall. “We watch, we listen, and we remember,” the raven says, presumably referring to those who see visions. “The past is already written. The ink is dry.”
What follows is basically a montage of the series’ many traumatic events thus far [Note: EVERY SINGLE SPOILER A-COMIN’]: Jon Snow’s assassination, Ned Stark’s beheading, Rob and Catelyn Stark’s deaths at the Red Wedding, King Joffrey’s poisoning, Arya going blind, Jaime Lannister’s hand being severed, and several shots of dragons and White Walkers. Then Bran interjects, “They have no idea what’s going to happen.” Which is technically true, since now the show has officially entered uncharted territory far beyond George R.R. Martin’s book series. Just like the past few years, Game Of Thrones is due back on the air in April, but we can bet on many more cryptic clips and trailers in the months leading up to that premiere.
