HBO just released 23 large high-quality photos from the eagerly anticipated third season of Game of Thrones. Behold images of fan favorites like Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister, along with new characters joining the show this year such as Wildling leader Mance Rayder and the Lady Olenna the Queen of Thorns.

EW rolled out 17 Game of Thrones stories with exclusive and spoiler-free behind-the-scenes content, largely drawn from our Northern Ireland set visit last fall, leading up to the show’s season 3 premiere on March 31. After each episode air we’ll have our popular recaps (catch up on the recaps for the first two seasons here) and interviews.
