"Game of Thrones" may still be a few months away from its much-anticipated return, but a new footage for the upcoming season 7 has recently been released.

During Sunday's "Westworld," HBO aired its 2017 promotion video which gives viewers a glimpse of some scenes from the upcoming season of "Game of Thrones." According to TV Line, the clip features quick, solo shots of Sansa (Sophie Turner), Jon (Kit Harrington) and Arya (Maisie Williams) who are all wearing costumes that make it appear that they are in the north. Aside from the possible Stark kids reunion, season 7 will reportedly include a huge battle and the introduction of actor Jim Broadbent's mysterious character.

Last week, actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson hinted that The Mountain and his younger brother The Hound could have a major confrontation in a future episode. Speaking to Express, the Icelandic strongman revealed that he could "definitely" see a brutal fight between the siblings at some point in the series.

"Everyone is expecting me and my brother to fight in this season. I don't know if that's going to happen or not," the former basketball player explained, adding, "They don't tell us that in the show but that's definitely [something] I could see happening in the future because it looks like it would go that way because if you look at the story, it looks like that."

On another note, HBO is releasing a line of "Game of Thrones" wines just in time for the holidays. The fantasy drama has partnered with Vintage Wine Estates, a Santa Rosa winery, to release a Cabernet Sauvignon ($39.99), "proprietary red blend" ($19.99) and a chardonnay ($19.99). This won't be the first time HBO has tied-up with a liquor brand because the network has actually had a licensed beer vendor since the program's sophomore season.

The seventh season of "Game of Thrones" will premiere in summer 2017 on HBO.
