‘Game of Thrones’ returns with action-packed trailer

“Game of Thrones” has never shied away from graphic violence and stomach-churning carnage, and based on the just-released season four trailer, the show’s creators aren’t going to mess with a winning formula.

The promo clip for the upcoming season of HBO’s award-winning adaptation of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels promises that the show’s furious action will continue on.

But “Game of Thrones” is about more than just the brutal clashes of warring factions. Its Vibrant characters and fully-realized fantastical world are what have made the show a hit.

The trailer offers up some tantalizing hints of what’s in store for King Joffery Baratheon, Tyrion Lanister and Daenerys Targaryen in the upcoming set of episodes — which cover the second half of series’ third book, “A Storm of Swords.”

“Game of Thrones” returns to HBO on starting April 6.
