As of the end of Season 5 of the very popular TV series “Game of Thrones” on HBO, the five remaining Stark siblings – Jon Snow, Sansa Stark, Arya Stark, Bran Stark, and Rickon Stark – are all separated from one another and have their respective ordeals to deal with.
Jon Snow is in the most precarious state among them all since he was stabbed to death by his brothers in the Night Watch and was left to die in the snow.
With filming of “Game of Thrones” Season 6 well underway, it is no longer a question among fans of the show whether Jon Snow will live or die. Because everyone knows by now that he will survive and will live to fight another day despite pronouncements by some cast members a few months back that the character is a goner.
Aside from the fact that Kit Harrington, the actor who plays Jon Snow, is signed for the full Season 6 of “Game of Thrones,” he has also been spotted a number of times during the ongoing filming standing up, so Jon Snow is going to be alive.
The speculations is that he will be brought back from the dead or near-death by the Red Witch Melisandre since she has nowhere else to go or serve after Stannis Baratheon was defeated by the Boltons before they can even come close to Winterfell, notes BGR.
Reunion of the Starks
According to Vanity Fair, it is very likely that Season 6 of “Game of Thrones” will see the reunion of the four Starks siblings, who shall then work together and lead the rebellion against the Boltons and take back Winterfell.
It could be recalled that Sansa Stark and Theon decided to escape Winterfell while Ramsay Bolton and his army were fighting Stannis Baratheon and his tired troops. It is likely that the duo will reach Castle Black where they will meet up with Lord Commander Jon Snow.
Rickon Stark, who has been with the House Umber since Season 3, will rally all the houses in the north around him and help reclaim for the Starks the north. He is confirmed to appear in Season 6 as the child actor who plays the role, Art Parkinson, has been seen in the set recently. He is even rumored to become the King of the North someday.
After a hiatus in Season 5, Bran Stark has been confirmed to return in Season 6 as well, which would confirm the possibility of the reunion of the four Stark siblings as they are all in the north.
It would be the first time that those four Stark siblings were in one place together since the premiere Season and that means good things to come for the Starks and the dire wolves and the millions of fans and viewers of the show.
There were even reports that in addition to uniting all the houses in the north with their common hatred of the Boltons as their focal point, Jon Snow will also draw on the support of the wildlings as they battle the Boltons in what the production team is jokingly referring to as the ‘Battle of the Six Armies,’ which is one army larger than Peter Jackson’s “Hobbit” trilogy.
The other Stark in the South
The farthest among the remaining Stark siblings is Arya Stark, who is down in the south in Braavos serving The House of Black and White, who is also dealing with her own trials.
In the Season 5 finale of “Game of Thrones,” it was shown that Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams, lost her eyesight as a punishment for going against the orders of The House of Black and White after she killed Ser Meryn Trant in a brothel.
