The interminable wait for season two of HBO's Game of Thrones is finally nearing an end and the premium cable network announced Thursday that fans can soon view an all-new trailer ahead of the April 1 premiere online or via the HBO GO app.
Viewers got their last dose of Arya Stark, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, and all the assorted rogues, warriors, and courtesans of author George R.R. Martin's sprawling fantasy world way back on June 19, 2011. And here we thought the eight-month wait between seasons five and six of Lost was an ordeal!
The trailer can be watched Friday at hbogo.com or by way of the app, which can be downloaded on Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, smartphones running Google's Android mobile operating system, Samsung's Smart TV products, and Roku digital media products, according to the network.
It's also going to be broadcast to HBO subscribers, naturally.
The first episode of season two is titled ""The North Remembers." It's directed by Alan Taylor, who was at the helm for the final two episodes of season one, and members of the Emmy-nominated series' ensemble who are returning for season two include Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark), Lena Headey (Cersei Baratheon), and Kit Harington (Jon Snow).
Sadly, Sean Bean won't be back unless the Game of Thrones producers have some sort of Obi-Wan-Kenobi's-ghost surprise up their sleeves (and let's really hope not). His character, Ned Stark, was beheaded as a result of crossing wits with the Lannisters in season one—although not before he got his own Internet meme, so there's that.
