Fan tracker accounts dedicated to monitoring social media clues further heightened expectations within the community, setting the stage for the highly anticipated teaser release.
Details of the Emmys Teaser
The teaser unveiled at the Emmys mainly consisted of a recut of clips from the Season 5 trailer originally released on July 16th. It also included older scenes from Season 1 to highlight the journey of beloved characters over the years. The teaser featured minimal but impactful dialogue including key lines such as:
