"Game of Thrones" spoilers will always be buzzing around the Internet but do you still remember that Kit Harrington interview for Belgian magazine, "Humo", which was confirmed by The Huffington Post? Yes, that very article where he said, "The important thing is that I now know exactly how long I am still under contract…" and goes on to say further, "Let’s just say that 'Game of Thrones' will remain a part of my life for a while; I’ll probably be in my 30s when it’s over. One thing’s for sure: the day I’m no longer on 'Thrones' is the day I’ll bury myself in movie projects."

Well, it looks like what Harrington has said sealed the fate of our beloved Jon Snow, because according to a TIME Magazine report, the actor was spotted on the set of the series in Belfast, Ireland. Dressed in full costume, with even a sword in his hand, Snow looked alive and kicking based on the photos released by The Daily Mail UK last Friday.

The new development in "Game of Thrones" has piqued everyone's interest, especially when HBO president Michael Lombardo already squashed rumors that Jon Snow was coming back last July, stating in full conviction that the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is definitely dead. Of course, fans celebrated on Twitter, making the rumor spread like wildfire on the web.

While the photos may suggest that Jon Snow has resurrected, MTV writes other possible reasons why he's in Belfast, filming season six. Maybe they're filming a flashback scene that involves Snow or he could be there as someone else, which may sound too farfetched, but fans have theorized he's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, making his real name Jon Targaryen.

Whatever the real reason is, we'll find out as "Game of Thrones" season six returns this spring.
