It’s not often we get a blizzard of Game of Thrones season 7images alongside a nifty behind-the-scenes video showing off what makes the special effects tick (or, in most cases, explode with fiery abandon). Check out the pics below, including a very regal-looking Daenerys and Cersei plotting her next move.

Entertainment Weekly have, alongside HBO, revealed a flurry of shots highlighting the major players from the next season of Thrones, which premieres July 16. Let’s go through them all. 

There’s Jon Snow…

A trifecta of Dany pics, with one alongside Tyrion and Greyworm.

Ser Davos looking very serious, as always.

Beric Dondarrion – the guy who just won’t die – looking very much worse for wear.

Maisie Williams receiving some instructions while on horseback.

And, finally, Tormund, looking half-goofy, half-serious.

HBO have even whet the appetite further (if that’s even possible) by releasing a behind-the-scenes video showcasing just how far the show goes to create the magic behind the murders, mayhem, and mishaps. There’s even a shot of Dany ‘riding’ a dragon, which shows just how much special effects wizardry goes into the final product.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
