Musical chairs: Game of Thrones stars appear in Season 7 teaser trailer

The 90-second video, titledLong Walkand set to the 1989 James song Sit Down, features the three major (surviving) contenders for the Iron Throne: DaenerysTargaryen (Emilia Clarke), Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and current queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).

Close camera shots follow each character approaching a seat of power. Danerys is seen in Dragonstone, the ancestral home of her family and former home of the recently deceased Stannis Baratheon.

Cersei appears upon the Iron Throne in King's Landing, which she captured in explosive fashion at the end of Season 6, eliminating nearly all of her political adversaries in one decisive blow.

Jon appears in Winterfell, which he recaptured with the help of his stepsister Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) last season.
