The promo includes plenty of exciting new footage from the upcoming episodes, along with voiceovers from Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Robb Stark (Richard Madden) and Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) - who echoes the thoughts of virtually every single viewer: "I want Joffrey dead."
"Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lust and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men...all will play the Game of Thrones."
Game of Thrones season 3 gets underway on March 31st on HBO in North America and on April 1st on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
