Children of summer prepare yourself, because winter is finally returning, and it's not going to be pretty the second time around.
HBO has released a behind-the-scenes featurette from the second season of "Game of Thrones" that offers the first glimpse at footage from the highly anticipated show. All our favorite characters -- from Tyrion to Jon Snow to The Hound -- are included, as well as some new ones. And if you wanted another peek at Arya on the lam, then you're in luck.
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss narrate the video and express their excitement for the upcoming second season. "So many great characters arcs and so many great characters and plot twists and reveals," Benioff promised. "I think it's going to be an incredible journey for our audience."
The two major scenes revealed in the trailer are one of Jon and Sam beyond the Wall discussing how they are pressing into Wildling territory, and the aforementioned scene where Arya is disguised as the boy Arry, and is close to being caught by the Queen's men. But there are some other great shots of Jorah and Daenerys, Joffrey as king and Bran with Maester Luwin that should get fans counting down the seconds until "Game of Thrones" premieres in April.
Also revealed are some of the new characters in the show's upcoming season. Renly Baratheon's new queen Margaery Tyrell -- played by "The Tudors" star Natalie Dormer -- is shown sitting next to her king on the battlefield. And there are some quick shots of Carice Van Houten as Melissandre and Liam Cunningham as Davos tossed in there if you're quick enough to catch them. I personally can't wait to see what Gwendoline Christie looks like as Brienne and how Tom Wlaschiha makes us cringe as Jaqen H'ghar, but hopefully those will be revealed in future promotions.
"One of the great challenges with the second season is the world just expanded enormously and not only did we introduce a great number of new characters, but we're journeying to all new locations," Benioff teased for season two. We can't wait!
