A lot was made over the fates of Beric and Tormund at the end of Season 7, with the pair last seen on the Wall just before it was burned down by Viserion's blue flame.

The script for the Season 7 finale confirmed their survival though, and the trailer leaves us in no doubt, with Beric guiding the way using his flaming sword, which is a neat party trick.

Also with them is Eddison Tollett, aka Dolorous Edd, the current Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, who, well, has kind of failed at his only job. What's left of the Watch will need to band together with those at Winterfell to help fight the army of the dead. They are still the shield that guards the realm of men.
