HBO has today released a new series of character posters for Game of Thrones season six, and yes, Jon Snow is once again present! However, the fact that he’s surrounded by the faces of those who are both dead and alive means we don’t get any further clues as to whether or not he’s actually in the land of the living (chances are he definitely is though).
What’s the deal with Jon? Well, we’re going to find out on April 24th, the official premiere date for Games of Thrones season six (for those of you in the UK, that means it will most likely reach Sky Atlantic around the 25th). This year’s episodes are perhaps the most exciting yet, especially as the TV series has now overtaken George R.R. Martin’s novel.

That’s not something fans of the A Song of Ice and Fire series are particularly happy about, and it was only last month that Martin confirmed that he won’t be finished writing the next instalment by the time Game of Thrones returns to HBO. It’s suffered from delays for years.
In the past, Game of Thrones has stuck to the source material fairly closely, but season six will shake things up in a major way by adapting material which Martin has not yet published.
