Going Viral: Jon Snow is alive in the new season of Game of Thrones

Almost every fan of the show was hoping that the character will be brought back to life in the new season. And looks like their prayers have been answered. Kit Harington’s murdered fan-favourite character Jon Snow was revived at the end of the latest episode. 

The Lord Commander was resurrected by the sorceress Melisandre, a reveal that caps 10 months of worldwide speculation following Snow’s death. During an in-depth interview, Harington spoke about his incredible journey shouldering the show’s biggest secret.

Actors typically only have to perform while in front of the camera. But to protect the Jon Snow twist, Harington was asked by the show’s producers to deliver an off-camera performance too — the role of an actor who departed a series that’s become a worldwide sensation.
