THERE ARE ONLY 24 MORE SLEEPS.
According to my calculations, that’s just a little over three weeks until season seven of Game of Thrones finally drops, and our lives once again have purpose and also direction.
Yesterday, HBO dropped a second trailer for the long-awaited series and goodness gracious everyone is very excited.
The two minute snapshot is loaded with clues for what is in store for us for the seven-episode-long season.
LISTEN: Mamamia’s TV podcast The Binge discusses everything we know about season seven of Game of Thrones. Post continues below.
Firstly, Littlefinger is being particularly suss. It appears that he is advising Sansa Stark on her latest move, whispering through his characteristically gritted teeth, “Don’t fight in the North. Or the South. Fight every battle. Everywhere. Always. In your mind.”
GOT theorists are convinced this signifies the growing divide between Sansa and Jon Snow, which Sansa herself has alluded to in interviews.
Oh… oh I don’t like that.
In the previous trailer, Snow is featured fighting with Littlefinger, and it appears there will be greater tension over how to defeat their enemies, who has the greatest claim to Winterfell, and who – ultimately – will rule the Seven Kingdoms.
Secondly, the dragons have grown and are no longer... cute. They are massive and threatening.
Thirdly, there are new alliances. Fans have predicted an alliance between Cersei and the Night King, which seems unlikely but entirely plausible.
