Game of Thrones season 7 episode 6 trailer: The penultimate episode, as always, looks like a humdinger

It looks to be centred almost entirely on the White Walker hunt north of the Wall

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

HBO has posted the trailer for Game of Thrones season 7's penultimate episode and, like 'Hardhome' and 'The Battle of the Bastards' before it, it looks like a very action heavy one.

"Death is the enemy. The first enemy and the last. The enemy always win. And we still need to fight it," Beric Dondarrion tells Jon as their motley crew heads out for a White Walker hunt.

We then see them clash with the icy enemies, The Hound swinging at a Walker before the group ends up fleeing them (perhaps having secured one to take back to King's Landing?).

Ominously, the Night King appears to be present at the skirmish, and a shot of five men running for the gate at the Wall suggests that not all of the warriors will make it back alive.

There isn't a lot else in the trailer, the episode looking to be pretty focused on the action in the North, but we do see glimpses of Arya and Sansa's relationship growing increasingly frosty.

Game of Thrones season 7 continues on HBO, Sky Atlantic and through NOWTV on Sunday nights.
