In a recent interview, Kit Harington, most famous for playing Jon Snow in HBO's hit series "Game of Thrones," revealed that he was still working on the series even though his character died in the last scene of the past season, giving fans hope that the Nightswatch man lives ahead of the "Winds of Winter" release date.

Fans of the books and those of the show are currently on the same level, as until there's an official "Winds of Winter" release date, the show has now officially caught up George R. R Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" books released so far.

As it has been previously reported and The Week confirms, the "Winds of Winter" release date might be finally approaching four years after the release of the fifth book of the saga, after Spanish editor Alejo Cuervo revealed that the book was set to come out next year.

This has prompted speculation that the "Winds of Winter" release date will be scheduled for sometime in the next spring, right before the release of the sixth season of the series.

In the meantime, News Every Day reports that, ahead of the "Winds of Winter" release date, whatever happens to Harington's Jon Snow in the series will also be the same in the book, so there seems to be hope for fans of the character, who were devastated in the past few months over his death at the hands of the Night's Watch.

In the sixth season of "Game of Thrones," some of the storylines varied greatly from the books, prompting speculation that the fate of the characters might vary from now on between the two sources, but after Harington recently told Dutch outlet Humo that he'd be working on the show in his thirties (he's now 28), it seems the world will see him around knowing nothing for a while longer.

The question is, will Harington's character come back to life in he show before or after a "Winds of Winter" release date is officially announced?
