Game of Thrones' Official Season 7 Trailer Is Finally Out.

The truncated season—down from the usual 10 episodes to seven—will be returning to HBO a bit later than usual this year, as the network's wonky melting ice date reveal announced. The show's penultimate season will hit the pay cable network in July.

Joining the fray this season are fresh faces Jim Broadbent, Ed Sheeran and NY Mets pitcher Noah "Thor" Snydergaard. While the latter two are expected to only have brief cameos, Broadbent will play a crucial role in the season. "I'm a maester, an archmaester," he told Screen Crush. "I'm an old professor character." The actor also revealed that he'd be in five of the season's seven episodes. "I did sort of one major scene in each episode," he said, adding that he shared his scenes with Sam (John Bradley)

And as if we weren't excited enough about the new episode, Maisie Williams' tweets have promised the finale will be one for the ages. "Just finished reading season 7. S—t gets REAL," she tweeted. "I'd start preparing yourselves now…Scratch that, nothing will prepare you for this."

Check out the new trailer above and let us know if you're as excited as we are in the comments below!

Game of Thrones returns for season seven on Sunday, July 16 on HBO.
