The long wait is nearly at an end- Game of Thrones: The Complete Seventh Season arrives on Blu-ray and DVD tomorrow, December 12th! Many of you will already have your copies pre-ordered and ready to go on Tuesday, but if you haven’t made your decision yet, we’re here with a new exclusive preview off the Season 7 Blu-ray that will whet your appetite and leave you dying for more!

Game of Thrones‘ Histories and Lore are a perennial fan favorite on the Blu-rays, with the animated featurettes offering special insight and bonus history to supplement our understanding of the show. This year, we’re proud to exclusively unveil the featurette “The Rains of Castamere,” narrated by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister). The video offers rich background detail about the Lannisters and the family who inspired the infamous, ominous song that still rings in the halls of Westeros.

Along with “The Rains of Castamere” on the Blu-ray, fans can look forward to more Histories and Lore including:

The Dragonpit, Narrated by Conleth Hill (Varys) and Anton Lesser (Qyburn)
The Citadel, Narrated by John Bradley (Samwell Tarly)
Casterly Rock, Narrated by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister)
Highgarden, Narrated by James Faulkner (Randyll Tarly)
The Golden Company, Narrated by Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont)
Prophecies of the Known World, Narrated by John Bradley (Samwell Tarly)
The Hand of the King, Narrated by Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger)

Both the Blu-ray and DVD versions will feature the following bonuses:

Conquest & Rebellion: An Animated History of the Seven Kingdoms: From the Game of Thrones realm comes the never-before-seen story of the tumultuous events that shaped the world of Westeros for thousands of years before the series start.

Cast members Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Pilou Asbaek (Euron Greyjoy), Conleth Hill (Varys), Aidan Gillen (Littlefinger), and Harry Lloyd (Viserys Targaryen) team up to narrate Game of Thrones: Conquest & Rebellion, an animated telling of Aegon Targaryen’s attempts to conquer the Seven Kingdoms, written by show writer Dave Hill.

True to the “Fire and Blood” words of House Targaryen, rivers, fields and skies turn red as Aegon sets out on his brave and bloody conquest to defeat the seven reigning families that made up the realm—an impossible feat were it not for Aegon’s possession of the most feared and ferocious weapons in all of Westeros: Dragons.

The perfect primer for newcomers to Game of Thrones and devotees alike, Game of Thrones: Conquest & Rebellion is replete with the melting castles, fields of fire, swordfights and sorcery fans have come to expect from the largest show on television.
