Up until now, HBO has teased us with tiny teasers for the upcoming second season of the critically acclaimed series Game of Thrones. Those of us that read the books know the true importance that hits in the coming storylines, but not much of how it will be executed.

A good amount of those question marks can now fall away (and some can become bigger) as the first full, 2 minute trailer for the upcoming season has finally hit the web.

So will the Lannisters and the Starks finally duke it out? Will we get more dragons? And who will take the throne once and for all?

Take a look at the full trailer after the jump to get a glimpse at what’s to come on April 1st, when Game of Thrones returns to HBO.

After months of dragon and sword-less action in our lives, HBO has finally released a full trailer for the upcoming second season of the incredibly popular Game of Thrones series. No more fancy graphics with shadowy images or ominous lines that make no sense, there’s some real plot stuff in here.

Okay, maybe a few more ominous lines…

Not much is really known about what we can expect to see in this upcoming season, but we do know that anybody can be killed. Here’s a quick blurb on the overall season from the official GoT Wiki page:

Season 2 is closely based on A Clash of Kings, the second novel in the Song of Ice and Fire novel series by George R.R. Martin. Some characters and elements from the first novel, A Game of Thrones, have been held back for the second season and some other elements were brought forward into the first for production reasons.

Take a look at the sweet new trailer after the jump, and catch the new season on April 1, only on HBO.

Things may have been pretty explosive on the finale of Boardwalk Empire last night, the real excitement is a few short months away when the critically acclaimed series Game of Thrones returns for what should be an even more amazing second season.

We left off with some pretty big question marks, and even bigger exclamation points at the end of last season, and while we won’t see Sean Bean making a return (spoiler!), we hope to get some amazing storytelling and even more amazing twists this season.

The newest teaser for the season hit the air last night, and we’ve got it for you to check out after the jump. Catch the all new season of Game of Thrones on HBO starting in April.
