"Game of Thrones" Season 3 poster released

Winter is coming...in March.

HBO has released the first poster teasing the upcoming third season of "Game of Thrones."

The artwork provides no hints about what's to come on the show - all it shows is the premiere date, March 31, set in front of a slab of stone.

This season of "Game of Thrones" will be based on the first half of "A Storm of Swords," the third book in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series.
