Notable moments from the trailer included the return of Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) to King’s Landing, a false prophecy by Melisandre (Carice van Houten) and an apologetic Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunninham) drawing Longclaw, the fallen Jon Snow (Kit Harrington)’s Valyrian steel sword, from its sheath.
Also shown: a vengeful Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), a newly-blinded Arya Stark (Maisie Williams), a reinvigorated Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen), the mysterious Kingsguard Robert Strong, an imprisoned Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer) and an upright Bran standing alongside the Night’s King.
