Game of Thrones will return next April – possibly with a very much alive Jon Snow, according to the newly released teaser poster.

‘Game Of Thrones’ Teaser

On Thursday, a tweet was sent out from the official Game of Thrones account that reads simply, “APRIL. #GoTSeason6 #GameOfThrones.” Accompanying the text was a poster featuring Kit Harrington as a bloodied Jon Snow.

In the Game of Thrones fifth season finale, “Mother’s Mercy,” Jon Snow is stabbed in the gut by the men of the Night’s Watch, who believe he’s a traitor. Young Olly (Brenock O’Connor) then appears to seal Jon’s face with a blow to the heart. However, since the episode’s final moments aired, most fans have insisted that Jon Snow is still alive.

Theories abound about how Jon could have survived – or rather, how he could have been revived. A popular idea is that Melisandre or another Red Woman is able to bring him back from the dead. It’s also possible, if theories about his parentage prove true, that he could be reborn in fire. The Night’s King could also turn him in a White Walker, or he might even be able to warg into his dire wolf, Ghost.

While Harrington and others members of the Game of Thrones cast and crew have confirmed Jon Snow’s death, evidence has been pointing to the contrary since the end of the fifth season. Not only has Harrington kept his hair long, he’s also been spotted on the Belfast, Ireland, set of the hit HBO show.

Harrington, 28, also seemed to slip up in an interview with Belgian magazine Humo back in September. “Let’s just say that Game of Thrones will remain a part of my life for a while,” he told the publication. “I’ll probably be in my 30s when it’s over.”
