HBO has released a second full-length trailer for Game of Thrones Season 6. In the new trailer Jon Snow is still quite corpse-y, but there’s a whole lot more Tyrion and dragons, which would be some fantastic slash fic.
According to Entertainment Weekly’s coverage from the Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere, much of the footage from the first trailer will appear in the premiere or the second episode of Season 6. “ A surprising amount of that footage is either from this first episode or from scenes that will seemingly happen in the next.”
This new trailer was first screened for critics who had just watched the premiere, so a great deal of this new trailer material is probably from later in the season. Watch it now:
It looks like Tyrion’s reign as the leader of Meereen will last longer than he had hoped, since a substantial part of this trailer involves Tyrion’s plan to deal with the city’s two imprisoned dragons. Could this be the start of a beautiful friendship that will eventually see Tyrion riding one of those bad boys? Yes, yes it could.
Other nice surprises include Jaime going toe-to-toe with the High Sparrow, though I’ll be a lot happier if the trailer moment is immediately followed by that dude getting a sword to the gut.
This trailer is super duper awesome, but if there’s one thing that induced groans, it’s the reappearance of the Sons of the Harpy. Can’t those rich kid Purge cast-offs just go away already?
Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on April 24.
