In a tweet, it wrote alongside the video: “Let the countdown begin.”
The epic fantasy series, based on the books penned by George RR Martin, will air its final series in 2019.
The new footage shows Jon Snow (played by Kit Harington) and Sansa (played by Sophie Turner) embracing, and also shows Jon speaking to Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke).
Snow is seen saying to Daenerys, hailed as the Mother of Dragons: “So what happens now?” to which she replies: “Something extraordinary.”
