This new batch of characters already looks so amazing, and I'm ready to see how they fit into this world.

And if you're like me and you're thinking, "Wait, there's no new women joining the cast?!" Let's hope we'll be getting more casting announcements as production continues.

Basically, I am so excited for this new season, and now I'm going to go watch the 50-second teaser trailer we got months ago over and over again.
