Heroic Hollywood’s Guide To ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6

• 3. Jon’s death/resurrection?

The biggest question by far leading up to Season 6: is Jon Snow dead? To actor Kit Harington, who insists to this day he is not coming back, and the show’s credit, they sold it quite well; the parting image of Season 5 was a still Snow in a pool of blood, having been Caesar-ed by his comrades in the Night’s Watch.

Still, no statement of denial will eliminate the set photos below from existence, showing Jon Snow dressed in Stark regalia as part of what is supposedly the season’s Big Battle, a clash between the Wildlings, the Northern Stark loyalists and their sadistic Bolton overlords, rumored to be nicknamed internally the “Battle of the Bastards.” How Jon is alive and his role in the battle remain questions for the show to answer. But as many predicted, Harington’s role in the show appears far from over.
