Will Jon Snow come back to life in Game of Thrones Season 6? Speaking at the London Critics’ Circle Awards Game of Thrones actor Maisie Williams pulled back the curtains—just a skosh—on the worst kept secret in TV history.
Once again alluding to the plain fact that NO JON SNOW IS NOT DEAD FOR KEEPSIES DOI ARE WE STILL DOING THIS ELABORATE DECEPTION THING ASK J.J. ABRAMS HOW THAT WENT WHEN HE LIED ABOUT KHAN IN STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS FOR A YEAR, Maisie Williams said, “I feel so mean because I speak to people and they’re all like ‘Jon Snow, is he back?’ and it’s like really heartbreaking because people are like ‘yeah, but he’s coming back though?’ It’s a great twist but I can’t say he’s going to be alive.”
Game of Thrones Season 6 Actor Maisie Williams Talks Jon Snow
The only real question is what form Williams’ “great twist” will take when it comes to resurrecting Jon Snow in Game of Thrones Season 6. It comes down to an interesting friction between the Game of Thrones HBO series and the source novels.
While most of the evidence presented around Snow’s death in the novel A Dance With Dragons would suggest Snow successfully throws his soul (“wargs”) into his direwolf Ghost, wargs and the minutiae of warging has played a smaller role in the Game of Thrones HBO series (at least when it comes to Jon Snow’s warg-bilities).
The more likely scenario for Game of Thrones Season 6, spoilers, is that Melisandre resurrects Snow, just as Thoros of Myr resurrected Lighting Lord Beric Dondarrion in Game of Thrones Season 3.
Thankfully, we don’t have much longer to wait for Jon Snow’s return and an end to the nonstop nudge-nudge, wink-winks. Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on April 24 .
