Trailer: GAME OF THRONES – season 3

HBO has released a one-minute trailer for the third season of Game of Thrones, which looks mightily impressive. I'm glad I stuck with this show through a dense and occasionally plodding first season, because it's really turned into something very impressive and remarkable. I don't read George R.R Martin's books, but I hear the third is widely considered the best (and season 3 will be tackling the first half of "A Storm of Swords"), so it's time to get excited for the return of Westeros. New faces appearing include Mackenzie Crook (The Office), Tara Fitzgerald, Ciarán Hinds (Munich), Paul Kaye (Dennis Pennis), Anton Lesser (Primeval), Tobiaz Menzies (Rome), Diana Rigg (The Avengers), Iwan Rheon (Misfits), Clive Russell (Sherlock Holmes) and Thomas Sangster (Love Actually).

Update: 03/03/13 - the extended trailer contains even better footage...

GAME OF THRONES returns 31 March 2013 on HBO, and 1 April 2013 on Sky Atlantic.
