AceShowbiz - HBO has finally released the first official trailer for "Game of Thrones" season 5. Making its way out online via the show's Facebook page following its debut during the IMAX screenings, it sees Littlefinger telling Sansa to avenge the death of her family members, Lord Varys talking with Tyrion about who deserves to be the king of the Seven Kingdoms, and Jon Snow in a war among other things.
Along with the trailer, photos from the upcoming season have also been shared online. One of them features Arya standing in front of The House of Black and White and some others show new characters Doran Martell (played by Alexander Siddig) and The High Sparrow (played by Jonathan Pryce).
"Game of Thrones" season 5 premieres Sunday, April 12 on HBO.
In related news, "Game of Thrones" books publisher HarperCollins has confirmed the sixth edition of "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Winds of Winter", will not arrive in 2015. "I have no information on likely delivery. These are increasingly complex books and require immense amounts of concentration to write. Fans really ought to appreciate that the length of these monsters is equivalent to two or three novels by other writers," HarperCollins executive Jane Johnson told The Guardian.
