Fans are still wide-eyed after the shocking conclusion of the 'Game of Thrones' fifth season. For those that witnessed the horrific plot twist, are all wondering what is going to happen with the show's beloved Jon Snow.

While it seemed like the character was in position to stick around for a long while, he was unexpectedly stabbed to death by the ones he once called his brothers.

Luckily actor Kit Harrington was available to speak on the finale and if he knows if his character is indefinitely dead. Fans of the series are all well aware that the showrunners aren't afraid to kill off vital characters.

In an interview with EW, Harrington first speaks on his reaction to the scene:

"Like every season, you read something in the script and go, "Oh f**k." I kind of knew it was coming. I didn't read [George R.R. Martin's novel] A Dance with Dragons. But I read the other books and I had heard this is what happens. So I had an inkling it should be this season. I didn't realize it would be the final shot of the season and that made it extra special. It's always kind of nice really when you're the last thing that happens in that episode. I dunno, I loved it. I loved how they brought Olly in to be the person who kills me. I love how the storyline with Thorne was wrapped up. I think it was really well crafted by [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss]. It felt like the right way for it to happen."

The actor then goes in to answer if his character is "really dead":

"This is my understanding of it. I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk [letting an actor know they're being whacked]. And they said, "Look, you're gone, it's done." And as far as the salary thing goes, that angered me when that story came out. I don't know where it came from, but it was inaccurate in many ways. It's going to put questions into your head and into fans' heads that things are not what they are. Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have. They sat me down and said, "This is how it is." If anything in the future is not like that, then I don't know about it - it's only in David and Dan and George's heads. But I've been told I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season. So that's all I can tell you, really."

News has recently suggested that the actor has cut his hair and is currently pursuing various movie roles, affirming his retraction from 'Game of Thrones.'
