Kit Harington confirms Season 6 return

Game of Thrones has always thrived on huge, buzzy twists and plots with some of them being executed better than others. A great example is the Red Wedding which is still one of the best surprises in the series: shocking and devastating at that time, yet inexorable in retrospect. Irrespective of the best efforts of the cast and crew, Kit Harington’s return might still be one of the best worst kept secret in TV. On numerous occasions, Kit has gone on record to indicate that he is going to be back for the sixth season, though he does not want to reveal his character since he died on the previous season.

Kit Harington as Jon Snow

Kit Harington was grilled by Time Out London for the details of the sixth season of the award winning TV series. During the interview he had mentioned that he was completely out of the series but upon further grilling, he mentioned that he had filmed some scenes. Such news will not come as a shock to anyone who has been keenly following the series because, Jon Snow’s dead body has been used as a promotional campaign tool for the sixth season. This in turn suggests that there is indeed more to the story than what is being revealed.

According to the cast and crew, Kit Harrington might not be returning to the series and have all insisted that Jon Snow will appear in the series as a dead body. Additionally other characters who have returned to the show to play dead include, Joffrey Baratheon and Tywin Lannister. Vanity Fair have insisted that unlike these two characters, there is reason to believe that Jon Snow is going to be a little more active than these two.

With that said, it is worth to mention that dead in Westoros might mean something else. The dead can be resurrected just as we saw Beric Dondarion resurrected by Thoros of Myr, the red priest. Additionally, the red priestes was also hanging around the wall, before the fifth series ended. The dead have also be known to come back to the world of the living as wights. All in all, Kit Harington may be completely honest that his character is completely dead. But from the surprises we have seen from the series, anything is possible.

Jon Snow and Melisandre

Many theorists have suggested that we might be seeing Jon Snow as a white walker in the series since it has already hinted that he will be making an appearance as a corpse in the show. From the numerous signs from HBO, it looks as if Jon Snow is going to return to the show. Currently, Game of Thrones is one of the most watched Television series with millions of viewers throughout the globe. The first episode of the sixth series is scheduled to be broadcasted on the 24th of April on HBO. Up to this point HBO has not released any teasers, though any time from now, they will start showing them since it is only a few more weeks before they begin showing the first episode of the sixth season.
