Since the release of the latest trailer a little over a week ago, things have been quiet on the ‘Game of Thrones’ front. But today we received some exciting new pictures, prepping us for the highly anticipated second season.

I said this first season and I will say this again; the casting for the Lannister’s is absolutely perfect. Just seeing Joffrey in a picture makes me angry, as it should be. I’m really excited for season 2 to begin.

What story are you looking forward to most in the second season? What do you think of the cast additions?

Game of Thrones returns on April 1st to HBO.
