The paparazzi photo of Kit Harington, impersonating Jon Snow in the popular fantasy series, got round on the internet on Friday, finally proving that in spite of the murder at the end of the fifth season our favourite’s role hasn’t finished. Diehard Game of Thrones fans and conspiracy theorists alike have bombarded the internet with rumors and theories on the different possible ways that Jon Snow could have survived his own death to return in Season 6 of Game of Thrones.

Meanwhile, HBO programming president Michael Lombardo previously announced at the Television Critics Association summer press tour that “Game of Thrones” showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss “are feeling there are two more years after season 6”. Everything I’ve seen, heard, he’s dead.
Recently, Kit Harington was spotted on the “Game of Thrones” set in what appears to be Stark armor, reports Deadline. “The important thing is that I now know exactly how long I am still under contract”.
Prior to the sighting, he told Belgian magazine, Humo, that “Game Of Thrones” could be part of his life until his 30s. Sapochnik is set to film episodes 9 and 10 in season 6, so if Jon Snow is filming those scenes that late in the season, he must still be alive and kicking, right?
Warning: Literally every line after this one is riddled with Game of Thrones spoilers, so tread carefully if you’re not up-to-date with the books and/or the TV show. Good question, and the answer is that the book series hasn’t been completed either.
This isn’t the first time there has been speculation of Jon Snow’s return from the dead.
Melisandre did return to The Wall just in time for Snow to get stabbed, and she has crossed paths with Thoros of Myr, a fellow Lord of Light worshipper and the only person we know of who has used the Lord of Light’s power to resurrect a person.

In contrast, the new photo strongly suggests that Kit Harington’s character is very much alive- decked out in full costume and ready for battle.
