The first images from season 6 of Game of Thrones have been released and while they give fans a good look at the upcoming series, everyone looks pretty miserable. Ok, so, anyone who knows Game of Thrones knows it's not the cheeriest of TV shows, but seriously, there's not one smile among all 25 pictures! We checked.

Despite this, there's plenty to sink your Game of Thrones-deprived teeth into - Bran's grown-up (a lot!), Arya is blind, and Daenerys is in captivity. There is, however, one character who's mysteriously missing. That's right, no Jon Snow for you. Could this mean that Kit Harington wasn't lying when he recently tried to convince us (again) he wouldn't be back for season 6? Something tells us this might all be a ruse on the part of the Game of Thrones PR time, but we'll have to wait a few more months to find out.

Game of Thrones season 6 premieres on HBO on April 24, 2016 in the US, and on Sky Atlantic a day later in the UK.
