HBO released a trailer last night teasing its slate of new content coming next year, including the first look at the much-anticipated Game of Thrones season 8.

The tease includes footage from episodes’ past, but there is a very brief moment from the upcoming GoT season. Don’t blink, you might miss it.

The new footage shows Jon Snow (Kit Harington) giving Sansa Stark a hug (Sophie Turner) as the siblings reunite at Winterfell. Possibly more troubling is a shot of Sansa during the embrace, where she is clearly looking up at somebody. Is it Daenerys Targaryen? Tyrion Lannister? Someone threatening?

While there is no official release date for the eighth season of GoT—even this trailer just says “Coming in 2019″—we can expect that the final six episodes will air during the first half of the year, just in time for Emmy eligibility cut off.

Other shows teased in the trailer include Barry, Veep, True Detective, and Big Little Lies.
