Warning: Major spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones," including speculation and set leaks.

A full length trailer for "Game of Thrones" season six was released on March 8, and there was a ton of new footage for fans to parse through. But it appears that HBO is just getting started.

On March 24, Manu Mishra (Twitter handle @ManuclearBomb) was watching TV around 10:40 p.m. UCT when he noticed a "Game of Thrones" trailer was playing. "I was about to go to bed and was on my phone when I heard the voiceovers," Mishra told Tech Insider. He knew right away this was something major.

We first heard about Mishra's tweet on the /r/asoiaf subreddit, where fans were giddy to see the screenshots being shared. Mishra is friends with Redditor BryndenBFish, one of the moderators.

Mishra posted a total of 22 screenshots, and we've broken them down into sections which tell us more about the events to come. Scroll through, but be warned that you may feel "spoiled" by all the new footage.

According to Mishra, however, this is not a leak. This was an HBO trailer that aired on TV during a college sports broadcast he was watching on either FXX or TBS — he's not sure which. The new trailer has yet to appear on any of HBO's official "Game of Thrones" social media accounts.

Scroll down to see the exciting images.

Mishra reports that the trailer opens with Daenerys. He says she was being pushed forward by a Dothraki captor.

But look who's flying over the Dothraki settlement. Drogon! He'll likely help Daenerys escape and set ruin to Vaes Dothrak.

We believe this is a shot of a scene known as "The Tower of Joy." If fans are correct, the scene has <a href=http://www.techinsider.io/game-of-thrones-trailer-teases-tower-of-joy-2016-3target=“_new”>major implications </a> when it comes to Jon Snow's parentage.

Let's head north. Here Ramsay is riding the front of his army. This is more of <a href=http://watchersonthewall.com/exclusive-new-game-of-thrones-season-6-spoiler-report-from-winterfell/ target=“_new”>the big battle</a> we're expecting to see in season six.

Next, we have what Mishra describes as Sansa and Theon running through the woods.

Brienne is attacking people on horseback in what looks like the same woods. She is likely attacking someone who is threatening Sansa and Theon.

This might be the biggest reveal. A giant is bursting into a courtyard. Set leaks <a href=http://watchersonthewall.com/exclusive-new-game-of-thrones-season-6-spoiler-report-from-winterfell/ target=“_new”>reported by Watchers on the Wall</a> months ago said a giant was in a scene with none other than Jon Snow at Winterfell.

There was no mention of Jon, Melisandre, or Davos in this trailer. But Mishra told TI that "Bran getting touched by the Night's King" was one of the biggest takeaways.

This shot from the released trailer places Bran in front of the Night's King, but we assumed it was a vision and therefore Bran wasn't actually in any danger.

Apparently there was a "flurry" of images right before the Night's King moment, showing Jaime, Arya, Theon, and Sansa.

Then a shot of Tyrion walking down the steps of Meereen's throne room. Mishra said Tyrion is speaking at the beginning of the trailer, but he doesn't remember the exact lines.

There's also a worrying shot of Tyrion with a torch, looking up at something. Mishra guesses (and we agree) that he is in the room with Daenerys' two other dragons — Viserion and Rhaegal.

"We hear the High Sparrow saying something to Tommen, I believe it was a new line but I can't be sure," Mishra said.

"The last half of the trailer [if I remember correctly] was all Jaqen, talking about giving the gift and adding to the Wall of Faces," Mishra said. "Obviously had cryptic overarching dialogue I don't recall."

Unfortunately there's no video to go along with Mishra's screencaps, for now.

You can browse through all of Mishra's tweets and commentary on his timeline, and read the insights fans have on /r/asoiaf.

The new season premieres April 24. To keep yourself occupied in the meantime, read through our roundups of everything set to happen in season six, and epic trailer breakdown.
