The Dead Are Coming In Brand New Game Of Thrones Season 6 Trailer

Forget winter, there's something worse...

With mere weeks to go ahead of the debut of season 6 of Game Of Thrones the second official trailer (well, third if you count the March Madness trailer) has landed, dialling the epic and the sense of threat up a couple of notches.

Again, it's a typically brilliant teaser from HBO, who are basically the small screen experts of hype building. There's enough narrative hinting in there to get the rumour mill spinning in to gear too, with first looks at the Sons Of The Harpies, escalated situations for Dany and Arya, a horrible moment for Pod and the first look at Sam Tarly.

There's also a pretty sizeable presence from the White Walkers, indicating that Winter is not just coming, it's practically breathing down our necks with its hand on the doorknob.

And yes, Jon Snow is currently still dead in it. Don't expect anything to change on that front until some way into the season (if at all).

Once again, the MVP is the Onion Knight, who is quickly swelling in prowess and importance, and will thus no doubt die horribly in a matter of episodes. Don't get attached, or you'll only make it happen quicker.
