The dead are coming in ominous Game of Thrones season 6 trailer

The sixth season of Game of Thrones is just around the corner, and HBO have released a brand new trailer for the upcoming batch of episodes that is sure to get you even more pumped for what lies ahead. Spoiler; it will probably involve lots and lots of death, blood and destruction. Check it out below...

Add in some great one-liners - Tyrion's "That's what I do. I drink and I know things" was arguably my favourite moment of the entire promo - and you have yourself a pretty epic trailer. The wait for the season 6 premiere just became that much longer.

Season 6 of Game of Thrones premieres on HBO on April 24, 2016 in the US, and airs on Sky Atlantic the next day in the UK.
