Thrones to be featured prior to True Blood finale

HBO has sent out an email and a tweet indicating that Game of Thrones will be included in their preview of upcoming shows prior to Sunday’s True Blood finale. Look for it to start at 8:40 PM. If it is anything like last time, the East Coast will get it before the West Coast. And Canada won’t get it at all. Thankfully HBO has assured us that they will post whatever they show to their site immediately after it airs. They’ve also promised a brand new Thrones promo image!

Winter Is Coming: There was no indication in the email of whether this will be a new trailer, a behind-the-scenes feature or just a re-air of the teaser. They should have enough footage to do a full-trailer, if they want to. Ran over at Westeros has heard that there apparently exists a longer trailer internally at HBO, but does not know if they plan to air that this Sunday or not. Personally, I’m hoping for a full trailer, but I’d also be plenty excited to see some behind-the-scenes stuff. I doubt they would just re-air the teaser, but I guess it is possible. Either way, we’re definitely getting a new photo, so only two more days until new Thrones media!

UPDATE: Ran has received word from an inside source that HBO plans to show some new footage as well as a look behind-the-scenes of Game of Thrones. Can’t wait!
