Just after 6pm yesterday evening the trailer for season 7 hit social media and the world stopped for one minute and thirty two seconds while we consumed our first real insight into what the creators of GOT have in store for us.

The trailer; entitled 'The Long Walk' is dark and it's moody, but it Game Of Thrones so what else would you expect!
The trailer features Daenerys, Jon and Cersei all separately making their way to their respective thrones while a reworked version of the 90’s classic ‘Sit Down’ by James fused with the echo of the sound of their footsteps plays subtly plays in the background.
The final shots give us a look deep into the eyes of each, all three look focused, cold and driven then a fade to black.. and one more deep focus eye.. That of the Night King - with all three firmly in his sights
It's underrated, it's simple, it's effective and when the electric blue iris fades in it'll chil you're blood - or maybe that was just me.
Roll on July 16th.
