Shortly after Jon Snow’s death in the season finale,Mother’s Mercy,Kit Haringtonrevealed in an interview that his beloved character is dead, and he isn’t coming back forGame of Thrones Season 6. Several others involved with the show, including showrunnersDavid BenioffandD.B. Weiss, have stated that Snow is dead, but back in July, the actor was spotted at the Belfast, Ireland airport, where the new season is currently filming. Earlier this month, he was also spotted “participating” in theproduction, although the extent of his participation is not yet known.
The show has reached an interesting point in its run, since it has now caught up withGeorge R.R. Martin’s books. The author still has two more books in hisA Song of Ice and Fireseries, but he hasn’t revealed when they will be published. The author revealed earlier this year that he is cutting back on his convention appearances to focus on finishing the books, but whether or not the sixth book will be published beforeSeason 6airs is not known at this time.
As forMaisie Williams' beloved character, Arya Stark, she did survive theSeason 5finale, but she was left blinded by Jaquen H’gar (Tom Wlaschiha), after taking a life that wasn’t hers to take. Since we don’t know what happens in the next book yet, fans are just as blind as Arya is, when it comes to information about the new season. But the actress did offer a brief tease about what will happen to Arya. Here’s what she had to say below.
“I thought of a really good teaser for my story line, ‘Arya may be fighting blind.’ Exciting.”
We don’t know if Arya’s blindness will be permanent, or if it is just some sort of temporary punishment from her mentor Jaquen H’gar, but we’ll find out when the new season debuts on HBO sometime this spring. Production is still under way, but the network hasn’t yet announced when the new season will arrive. Do you think Jon Snow is really dead, or will he be brought back to life? Will Arya remain blind for the rest of the series? Let us know what you think about these burning questions, after checking outMaisie Williams' video interview from the Emmy red carpet below.
