If you weren’t already chomping at the bit for the new season of Game of Thrones, the first full trailer for Season 6 will have you quivering with anticipation.

The clip gives our first proper look at what to expect from the new series, after Season 5 ended proceedings on a huge cliffhanger.

SPOILER WARNING: Huge plots spoilers for Seasons 1 to 5 follow

After the last episode saw Jon Snow apparently killed off, betrayed by his own men and left to die in the North, fans have been clamouring for scraps of information about whether he will return.

From the looks of things he will – while most of his shots in the trailer show his icy corpse, one blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment appears to show the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch on horseback in a battle scene.

That’s not the only jaw-dropper from the trailer – there’s also the return of Ned Stark, who was initially introduced as the show’s main character before being unceremoniously bumped off in Season 1 after nine episodes.

It seems that the new series will bring flashbacks about a young Ned taking on the Targaryens.

Also notable is the return of Sansa Stark, who looks like she has a renewed sense of purpose after suffering through the word indignities, while Jaime and Cersei Lannister rekindle their incestuous romance, and Daenerys Targaryen finds a new tribe.

Oh, and we think we’ve spotted the Hound.

For the full breakdown, take a look at the gallery above and get a look at all of those must-see moments.

April 24 really, really, cannot come soon enough.
