'Game Of Thrones' Season 2 Trailer: Sneak Peek Of The HBO Drama (VIDEO)

It may be getting warmer outside, but the chill is in the air for fans of HBO's critically-acclaimed series, "Game of Thrones." The network finally released the anticipated trailer for Season 2 of the fantasy drama.

The trailer, narrated by Varys (Conleth Hill), features some of our favorites from the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros-- Jon Snow and Arya -- and some of our... well, not-so-favorites. King Joffrey, we're looking at you.

Looks like Tyrion, played by Emmy and Golden Globe winner Peter Dinklage, is finally ready to play the game. Sharpen your daggers, "Game of Thrones" fans, the cold winds are rising, and we all know what that means -- winter is coming.

The cold winds are upon us on Sun., April 1 at 9 p.m. EST. Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes. Check out the trailer below.

Just watched the clip again and I'm even more excited now than I was yesterday. I need this show to start ASAP.

P.S. So Lisa Bonet is married to Jason Momoa? First Lenny Kravitz, and now Khal Drogo? Um, can someone tell me how I can come back as Lisa Bonet in my next life?

I want to see if my theory that Arya will be sent to kill Daenery's is correct!

Totally psyched. "Game of Thrones" and "Boardwalk Empire" are the best shows on the air.

I really can't wait to see how the cast of Brienne is. She's my favorite character and I can't wait to see her on the screen.

I doubt they can find a actor who looks like "Brienne" the character in the books. It would be comical, but I can't wait either. I was disappointed they are changing Gregor Clegane's character. The original in the first season is no longer available. I thought he made a perfect Mountain.

Here's the actress they cast as Brienne:

That's one of the things that makes me so interested to see how/if she can pull off the role. She's going to need a lot of make-up, but she's got the height down.

I didn't know they changed the actor for Gregor. That stinks! He really was a good fit for the role.

Took me awhile, but I finally found a decent screenshot of Brienne.

There's a few others you can view by clicking her name on that page, but they are not clear at all.

Arya is going to have such a compelling arc this season.

Definitely something to look forward to.
