Following news that the premiere episode of ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6 broke Australian subscription television records – with 727,000 viewers tuning in last Monday to make it the most watched show in subscription telly history – we can now officially reveal that the second episode will indeed see Jon Snow returning.

Since July 2011, readers of the original books and viewers of the series have been in suspense about the fate of one of the series’ central characters who is also fondly known as the ‘Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch’.

Now, half a decade later, tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones, subtitled ‘Home’, resolves the cliffhanger in dramatic style.

Most fans knew Jon Snow wasn’t gone for good, and with the aid of Melisandre’s magic, he returns to life in the final moments of tonight’s episode.
