Sometimes a teaser for a highly anticipated TV show or movie is
just that: A tease. In the short preview of Game of Thrones’ sixth
season, HBO seems largely to be toying with fans.
“We watch. We listen, and we remember,” says a voice over, along with the shots of the fallen leader, who is widely rumoured to be returning this season. However, the teaser ends with a shot of Snow being brutally stabbed, calling back to the devastating season five finale.
Although it has been claimed endlessly that Snow is dead, the new teaser is filled with his old footages once again triggering the rumor that Kit Harrington is set to reprise his iconic role and is most likely to become more powerful in the upcoming season.
Adding fuel to the rumor, Harrington was spotted on the “Game Of Thrones” set in Belfast in the complete get-up of Jon Snow, Daily Mail reported.
Another major character to get featured in the teaser is Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), who is seen in a flashback moment sharing a kiss Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen). Just like Snow, her fate is also a matter of speculation since she was last shown jumping to freedom from Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon) and is presumed dead.
The teaser ends with a shot of Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), who has by now apparently excelled his ability to enter the minds of animals or in some cases, other people.
The youngest Stark was last seen in season 3. The clip ends with Bran with warg eyes, before large, bold silver lettered “Spring” flashes upon the screen, referencing the highly anticipated return of the series.
Although HBO is yet to announce “Game Of Thrones” season 6 release date, it is said to premier on April 24, 2016, Realty Today reported.
On one hand, the teaser showed a definitely alive Jon Snow — and not in a White Walker sense, either. On the other, as Bran (Isaag Hempstead) intoned, “They have no idea what’s going to happen.”
Of course, it’s all rehash, which could be a bit disappointing to fans who want to see what’s in store for the next season.
What the teaser lacks, it more than makes up for in its confirmation of the return of Bran Stark, who was missing in action during the entire fifth season. As The Hollywood Reporter noted, he was last seen in the fourth season with his companions, Hodor (Kristian Nairn) and Meera Reed (Ellie Kendrick) at the foot of a wizard who promised him that he “will fly”.
The outlet also noted that the show has already run beyond the book series, but there is still one Bran chapter that they are yet to adapt, which fans may see in season five, as Bran is starting to learn the art of “skinchanging” and “greenseeing,” where he can inhabit the bodies of other living things.
The trailer’s lack of new footage does make sense, however, and that the teaser is the way it is: as the Three-Eyed Raven (Max Von Sydow) narrated, “The past is already written, and the ink is dry.” Bran’s last chapter also saw him experiencing visions of the past, such as his late father, Ned Stark, in the woods just outside of Winterfell.
Rolling Stone noted that the clip is a fitting follow-up to the teaser poster recently released, which reignited rumors of Jon Snow’s fate in the series.
These teasers seem to go against HBO Programming President, Michael Lombardo’s, words at the Television Critics Association in June, when he said that “Dead is dead is dead is dead. He be dead. Yes. Everything I’ve seen and heard and read, Jon Snow is indeed dead.”
You couldn’t put it past him to throw off fans in the opposite direction, though, especially because the show has finally come to a point when even book readers have no idea where the story is heading.

The new Game of Thrones Season 6 teaser is mainly Jon Snow
After the viewers are informed that the past has already been written, Bran Stark’s (Isaac Hempstead Wright) voice comes on to say that “they have no idea what’s going to happen” — and for the teaser’s purposes, “they” presumably means “us.” After a brief montage of death, the 40-second video mostly features Jon Snow (Kit Harington), who (SPOILER!) died last season. That seems to suggest he’s coming back in Season 6 — in some shape or form — despite Harington’s insistence that Snow is dead. You can decide for yourself in the clip below.
