WATCH: The Night King returns in the trailer for next week’s GOT, and Jon Snow looks properly terrified

This is the first time we've seen Jon Snow properly scared.

Winter has finally arrived…

If you haven’t watched the most recent outing of Game Of Thrones – the ‘Eastwatch’ episode was slightly less busy with action and more busy with rearranging the positions of everyone still standing – then we recommend you don’t watch the trailer for next week’s episode.

Still here?

Okay, good, because this trailer… GOOD. GOD.

Remember the trailer before episode four – aka The One Where The Dragons Kill Everybody – and we had no real idea that it was going to be result in such a spectacular action scene?

Well, the peeps behind next week’s episode are laying all of their card on the table this time around, and after weeks and weeks of build-up this season, Jon and his not-so-merry-men are finally on the other side of the wall, in the depths of the Night King’s domain, with a very specific plan of action.

Normally we’d be digging our heels in to look out for any and all potential plot threads, but this really does look like it will be pretty much all about the army of the dead and Jon’s breathless, panicky escape from them.

Any chance we could just slip into a handy little coma for the next few days until it airs??
