After a gory death, 'Game of Thrones' revives Jon Snow
  • 8 years ago
HBO's medieval saga "Game of Thrones" is known for serving up graphic deaths of its lead characters, but when fan favorite Jon Snow was killed off, avid followers speculated every theory and sighting that would bring back their heroic soldier.
"Game of Thrones" tweeted a teaser poster on Monday with a partial shot of Jon Snow's rugged, bloodstained face and trademark hair, with the simple caption "APRIL. #GoTSeason6." The sixth season will air on HBO in April 2016.
Fan speculation on Jon Snow's fate has ranged from sightings of Harington on set in Ireland to the actor's decision not to cut his shoulder-length brown locks, which have become a trademark of his character.
His tragic demise was lamented, but readers of Martin's books immediately suggested the character could be returning, albeit through otherworldly means.
