Looks like filming for Game of Thrones Season 5 is officially over.

With production wrapped, the countdown to the official promo pics and first trailer with actual new footage is on. The Game of Thrones Season 4 trailer was released in January 2014 with the season premiere airing in April.

If HBO follows the same schedule for season 5 [which is quite likely], fans can expect the first full-length trailer of the upcoming season within the next few weeks, perhaps in January 2015.

Meanwhile, during a recent interview, actress Sophie Turner teased details of her role in the upcoming season revealing that her character Sansa Stark will feature in a "super, super traumatic scene".

Vanity Fair speculates that the already ill-fated Sansa "might be the victim of another tragedy, perhaps a sexual assault."

Game of Thrones season 5 is slated for release on 5 April, 2015.
