Maisie Williams Just Shattered Your Dreams For Jon Snow's Return

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Harington confirmed that as far as he knows, his character is really dead. "This is my understanding of it. I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they're being whacked]. And they said, 'Look, you're gone, it's done.' Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have. They sat me down and said, 'This is how it is.' If anything in the future is not like that, then I don't know about it — it's only in David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] and George [R.R. Martin]'s heads. But I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season."
