Kit Harington's fan favorite character on "Game of Thrones", Jon Snow, may be still alive. Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen believes there is a chance the bastard son of Eddard Stark may return to the HBO show.

Jon Snow was assassinated on the season five finale but Clarke thought "there are some helpful people there, who could bring Jon back to life." The actress said in an interview with MTV, "If I had to bet, I would say it's a 50/50 chance."

The show is entering season 6 due next year. Jeremy Podeswa ("The Tudors", "Boardwalk Empire") will direct episodes 1 and 2. He previously helmed "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" and "Kill the Boy" in the previous season 5.

Daniel Sackheim ("The X-Files", "Lie to Me", "House M.D.", "The Americans") is tapped to direct episode 3 and 4. Jack Bender who directed more than 30 episodes of ABC's "Lost" is hired to sit behind the lens for episode 5 and 6.

Mark Mylod who previously directed "High Sparrow" and "Sons of the Harpy" in season 5 will helm episode 7 and 8 in the next installment. Miguel Sapochnik who directed the epic battle sequence between Jon Snow, the Wildlings and the White Walkers' undead army in the last season will handle the last two episodes in the new one.
