Here's what we can tell -- for now:
Jon Snow's eyes are closed, and his Night's Watch squad is on the defense
All we can hear is one of Jon Snow's Night Watch brothers saying "I thought he was the man to lead us through the long night, but I was wrong." Then there's a shot of a seemingly dead Jon Snow (above).
There's some tension between the High Sparrow and the Lannisters
The leader of the religious sect the Sparrows -- and the recently appointed High Septon of King's Landing -- has to deal with an angry Jaime Lannister. (Does that anger have something to do with the Sparrow making Jaime's sister/lover Cersei do a Walk of Shame? Probably.)
"You would spill blood in this holy place?" the High Sparrow says.
Jaime's reply: "The Gods won't mind. They spill more blood than the rest of us combined"
Also in the trailer, Cersei is seen giving a pep talk to Tommen, current King and her only remaining child.
"Stand at the head of our army where you belong," she says. "Show them what Lannisters are, what we do to our enemies."
Arya's training continues
The Man of Many Faces may have made Arya blind, but this new trailer suggests her training will continue.
"Who are you?" he says.
"No one," she replies.
"A girl has been given a second chance. There will not be a third," he says.
Later in the trailer: a shot of Arya kickin' butt.
Sansa, too, is ready to fight.
Oh hey, badass Sansa -- we see you. She's angry about what's been taken from her, and we are here for it.
Ramsay Bolton wants the North -- and he has an army to back him up
But he needs Sansa to make it happen.
Sir Davos' forecast: "Make no mistake, the dead are coming"
Yup: In addition to the fighting for the Iron Throne, everyone has to battle the dead.
Tyrion is still wiser (and funnier) than all of us
Last time we saw Tyrion, he had been left in charge of an unruly Meereen after Daario and Ser Jorah headed off to search for Daenerys.
In this trailer, he is seen explaining why dragons should not be put in captivity. When asked how he knows this, he simply says: "That's what I do: I drink and I know things."
Meanwhile, Gilly and Sam are somewhere
Safe, but seemingly sad.
And so is Khaleesi's dragon
Oh hey.
