THIS IS NOT A DRILL: HBO has released the first promo for Game of Thrones Season 7 that actually features the characters, and we're freaking out.

The new teaser features Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) on a long walk towards their respective thrones, ending with a chilling hint that ruling the seven kingdoms is the least of their problems.

The video doesn't feature any episodic footage from the new season (although we're fairly confident that Cersei, Daenerys and Jon will be walking around in Season 7), but the symbolism of the imagery is fairly clear -- winter is here, and the Night's King has the power to destroy everything, from the North to King's Landing.

We're counting the days until July 16.
