Alongside the penultimate episode of Westworld , HBO broadcast a preview of its 2017 programming, including a sneak peak at season seven of Game of Thrones .
However, the footage was never officially uploaded to the internet, until now. Finally, to coincide with the final episode of Westworld , HBO has revealed the footage online.
While only brief, three key characters appear in the quick snippet (which starts at the one minute mark in the above video): Jon, Sansa, and Arya.
As expected, Jon and Sansa remain together in what looks like Winterfell, having just broken through the Bolton forces to take back their home.
What’s more surprising is Arya’s appearance: freed from the Braavos storyline, the young Stark is back in Westeros and on horseback. With sparse skies above and bulky clothing, we can assume she’s heading North, perhaps to meet the other two in Winterfell?
