A major mystery has been resolved about “Game of Thrones”, and it looks like fans of the show who were attached to the character of Jon Snow will be happy to know that he is indeed coming back in the next season and he wasn’t actually killed. That was expected by many fans of the show, but of course without any official confirmation it was hard to know what to expect, especially given the show’s tendency to kill off major characters all the time.
The fate of Jon Snow was an important cliffhanger in the story and it was widely discussed by fans for a long time. This was clearly planned carefully by the writers of the show as it worked great for ramping up the discussions about it, and currently there is a lot of hype about season 6 and the future developments that we’re going to see.
However, various changes are coming about the position of Jon Snow in the overall plot, such as the fact that he is no longer going to hold the post of Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, and he will be replaced by someone new. We don’t know exactly who will end up taking his place, but given the fact that it’s apparently going to be a known character and not someone just arriving to the story, there has been a lot of speculation among fans about how this part of the story will unfold.
Realistically, the writers could choose various characters to take the place of Jon Snow, but there are some options that would work out better than others. It’s also important to remember that some characters have more to gain from the opportunity of obtaining this position, so it’s not very clear who the writers are going to go with.
It’s also notable that this has some implications for how the books are going to proceed. It’s already been confirmed that “Winds of Winter” and “Game of Thrones” will have the same outcome to the Jon Snow plot, so now that fans know that the character is coming back in the books as well, this has resulted in even more discussions about the book.
This was already a popular topic among fans of the book series before the outcome was confirmed for the TV show, and the fact that the two works will apparently share this detail of their plots has given fans a lot of reason to speculate. We are not sure if there will be any differences in how the story is approached in other regards, as it was only confirmed that the survival of Jon Snow will be shared, not much else. This means that the character could still take a different path in the book as opposed to the show, and this has also been an interesting topic for fans on both sides. George R.R. Martin has been known to twist the story in interesting ways before, and we could certainly see him doing it now as well.
Meanwhile, the author has reportedly been doing his best in order to get the next installment in the book series finished as quickly as possible. His work pace has been the subject of some discussions among fans as some of them are quite displeased with how slow things have been going, but in the end most people agree that it’s better to wait a little longer and get a quality release rather than a rushed book.
