The Eternals star shared,
“That got tricky as well because Jon Snow is a character around which a lot of other characters’ storylines pivot around, so essentially when going and telling all my cast mates that I’m not back next season, I’m also going, ‘Oh yeah, and you’re fired too. I’m dead, so we’re all kind of not here.’”
According to reports, the makers informed Kit Harington that he had to keep this plot from his co-stars and crew members and that Jon Snow would return in season six.
