'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Cast & Spoilers: Jon Snow Returning? New Evidence Comes to Life

By Maria Myka| Jul 22, 2015

It's a good day to be rooting for Jon Snow's story in the great "Game of Thrones" debate, because it looks like Jon Snow is going to live after all.

Kit Harington, who plays the young Lord Commander of the Knight's Watch, was spotted arriving at Belfast International Airport, just in time for the beginning of the season six production of HBO's epic series. The leaked photo of the actor at the airport fueled fan speculation that the character, despite being stabbed multiple times in the chest, is alive after all.

Harington, however, seemed resigned to his character's death. At a set visit by the New York Daily News, the actor said, "I'm quite dead,. It's over for Jon Snow—at the very least, he gets to join his family and kin and leave this terrible world behind."

Of course, you wouldn't put it past producers to make him give false leads about Westeros, and people are not buying it, either. In the great is Jon Snow dead or alive debate, recent updates on the cast had fans becoming more and more sure that JS is in fact okay, starting with the length of his luscious curls. As Cinema Blend noted, Harington's hair has become somewhat of a focal point in the theories, as it was famously reported that his contract stated that as long as the actor is playing the part of the Stark bastard, he couldn't cut his tresses.

At the Belfast airport, Harington was spotted to have his Jon Snow 'do back (he reportedly cut it short in January).

Just because Harington is back on set does not mean that he's actually back in the series. A source close to production told the New York Daily News that the show does film funeral scenes as well, and Vanity Fair pointed out that Charles Dance, who was killed at the end of Season 4, also spent some time on set after his death, only to appear as a corpse in the next season.

Considering that "Game of Thrones" is an avenue for stars to shine, Harington could also be sporting the long locks for a different project. After all, as a report pointed out, he did also sport long Jon Snow-ish locks on his film, "Pompei."

Nobody is willing to admit anything, so fans will have to wait until next season—or until "A Song of Ice and Fire" author George RR Martin publishes the next book, to confirm what many already hoped was true.

Do you think Jon Snow is alive?
