There are spoilers ahead for last night’s Game of Thrones! Either catch up with the series before you read this or read our review of last night’s episode!
Kit Harington is so, so sorry, Game of Thrones fans! For months, Harington has had to lie about Jon Snow’s status on the show. Everyone knew that Jon Snow was gonna come back to life, but Harington tried to keep the suspense alive by denying it for almost a year.
As of last night’s episode, Jon Snow is officially back among the living. We think. And now, Harington has a few words for Game of Thrones fans.

That was part of Entertainment Weekly’s upcoming cover story which pretty overtly spoils what happened on the series.
Note that the small text at the bottom says “they even kept the secret from President Obama!,” since it’s well known that the President is one of the few people who still gets advance copies of every Game of Thrones episode ahead of time.
EW hasn’t posted the cover feature with Harington yet, but the cliffhanger was known to readers of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels ever since A Dance With Dragons was published in 2011. To add suspense to that cliffhanger, the decision was apparently made to make the attempt to fool fans into thinking that Harington was off of the show.
How do you feel about the return of Jon Snow? Let us know in the comment section below!
