Ever since “Game of Thrones” completed its bloody fifth season, skeptical devotees of HBO’s fantasy hit have continued to wonder: “Is Jon Snow really dead?”
Game of Thrones is an immensely popular series on HBO that has piqued the interest of many viewers.

Much of the large budget production, based on George RR Martin’s series of books, is being shot in Northern Ireland. Interestingly, it was commonly assumed that Game of Thrones would be ending after Season 7; however, fans were delighted to hear that season eight was in the pipeline.
Lombardo is personally keen into bringing the story to anywhere that David and Dan would want to take it.
