How good does that look? I mean, it's not as long as we'd like it to be. Preferably it would be the full first episode... but we'll take it.
HBO has previously released this trailer, and it looked incredible. Can you believe it's a mere three weeks away?
Here's a little something to refresh your memory...

A Facebook post also re-confirmed the date for the first episode airing as July 16.
The first trailer features all of the main cast of the show. It looks like Cersei and Jamie - surrounded on all sides by enemies old and new - are going to be in for a rough time. We get a glimpse of Daenery's invasion, and also see Jon Snow's leading the North against the White Walkers.
Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, tweeted this last year: "Just finished reading season seven, shit gets REAL. I'd start preparing yourselves now... scratch that, nothing will prepare you for this... Holy BALLS."

Most seasons have drawn out the plot lines and character developments over 10 episodes,but unfortunately the final two series will be considerably shorter.
Season seven will feature seven episodes, while season eight will only have six.
Benioff told the crowd: "From the very first time we pitched this show to HBO, we wanted to tell one 70-hour movie.
"It's gonna turn out to be 73 hours, but still, it's stayed relatively the same in terms of the beginning, the middle and now we're coming to the end."

So fans we've got 13 episodes left to watch how it all comes to an end.
The show is based on the novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin, but the TV series has now moved past the point where the books finished up.
