Kit Harington returning to Game of Thrones is becoming the worst kept secret in television history. After the shocking season finale, it seems that almost nobody believes Jon Snow is truly gone for good, and now HBO has given us yet another piece of evidence that we'll be seeing him in Season 6.
HBO sent out emails this morning promoting a sale under a new section of their store called "In Memoriam: Fallen Fan Favorites." The sale groups together merchandise related to characters who have died during the series, and it goes all the way up to the Season 5 finale with Stannis included in there. But guess who you won't find anywhere on the page? Jon Snow.
Yes, while the page includes merchandise for Stannis, who was killed in the same episode Jon supposedly died in, there is no sign here of the supposedly deceased Night's Watch commander. How suspicious is that? If Jon really is gone, that would be one of the most meaningful deaths in the entire series, so surely it would be included here. Though one might argue he's left off just to keep it ambiguous whether the character will come back, up until now the showrunners have been very unambiguous that Jon really is dead. Yeah, they were totally lying to you.
The pile of evidence that Kit Harington will return to Game of Thrones is growing every day. Most recently, the actor was actually spotted heading to the show's filming location along with some of his costars, as we previously reported. It doesn't get much clearer than that. There's at least some chance that Harington was just showing up to play Snow's dead body, but if he's spotted again in the Belfast area in the next few weeks, we can finally put this whole debate to rest and get back to arguing over when The Winds of Winter will come out.
