Supreme Leader Snoke's personal bodyguards have been teased in the build-up to The Last Jedi through merchandise, but are yet to fully appear in any sort of footage. This trailer doesn't change that, but it does give us a hint of them in a couple of different scenes.

In the sequence where Kylo Ren kneels down to pick up his lightsaber - in what appears to be Snoke's Throne Room aboard his Mega Star Destroyer, the Supremacy - we can see a Praetorian Guard on either side of him in the background.

Similarly, when Rey is being tortured by Snoke - again, in what looks like his Throne Room - we can see one just over her shoulder to the right. We've been promised these guards, unlike the Emperor's, will see action, but at present they are still just standing around observing.
