Now HBO has released a new trailer for Game of Thrones season 5, you can see the new trailer below.
Anticipation for Season 5
It certainly looks like Season 5 of Game of Thrones is going to be interesting and this could end up being the best season so far. Fans of the show have just under a month to wait until the next season launches. The anticipation is palpable, with many fans speculating about the fate of their favorite characters and the potential twists and turns that the new season will bring. The previous seasons have set a high bar with their intricate plots, complex characters, and stunning visuals, and it seems that Season 5 will continue this trend.
What to Expect in Season 5
Season 5 is expected to cover material from the fourth and fifth books of George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, “A Feast for Crows” and “A Dance with Dragons.” These books run concurrently, with events happening simultaneously but in different locations. This means that viewers can expect to see a wide range of storylines and characters, from the political intrigue in King’s Landing to the struggles of Jon Snow at the Wall, and Daenerys Targaryen’s quest to reclaim the Iron Throne.
One of the most anticipated storylines is the journey of Tyrion Lannister, who was last seen fleeing Westeros after being accused of regicide. His path will cross with new characters and take him to new locations, adding fresh dynamics to the series. Additionally, Arya Stark’s journey to Braavos promises to be a significant plotline, as she continues her quest for vengeance and self-discovery.
The new season will also introduce the kingdom of Dorne, home to the Martell family. The Martells are known for their fierce independence and unique culture, and their introduction is expected to add a new layer of complexity to the already intricate political landscape of Westeros. The casting of Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell and Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand has been met with excitement from fans.
Moreover, the showrunners have hinted at significant deviations from the books, which means that even avid readers of the series will be in for some surprises. This approach has been both praised and criticized, but it undeniably adds an element of unpredictability to the show.
