‘Games of Thrones’ Update: Kit Harington’s Luscious Locks Give Fans Hope for Jon Snow

Kit Harington, known for playing Jon Snow on the hit HBO series, "Games of Thrones," looked extremely handsome while attending the 2015 Wimbledon Championships in London. Although he was dressed to the nines, everyone was staring at his luscious locks.

The fact that Harington's hair is still long suggests that his character, Snow, might be returning next season. (SPOILERS AHEAD!) In the season five finale, fans watched as members of the Night's Watch stabbed Snow repeatedly until he fell onto the floor and starting bleeding out, leading many to believe that the beloved character is died.

Despite the heartbreaking scene, people are speculating that Snow is not really dead and Harington's hair is fueling that theory.

Harington revealed previously that his contract for the show requires him to keep his hair long. The actor stated that he planned to "cut it off quite soon...as soon as [he is] allowed." Roughly one month after Harington mentioned his contract agreement, he cut his hair several inches shorter, causing fans to believe that his charger would be killed off soon, which happened at the end of the season.

However, if Snow is indeed dead, Harington could then change up his hairstyle and cut it short like he had wanted. But when the star showed up with a head full of curls, fans are starting to speculate that Snow's future on the show is not over.

Harington, of course, could have just decided to keep his hair long for other reasons as well.

The Guardian wrote: "The fact that he hasn't could mean one of three things. One, that Snow really did survive his stabbing and Harington really will star in Game of Thrones season six. Two, that Harington needs longer hair for his role in Brimstone, the film he's currently shooting. Three, that Harington just prefers to have his hair nice and long."

But, Harington's hair is not the only thing giving fans hope.

Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, recently talked about Snow's demise. When asked if Snow was really dead, Clarke gave a vague answer and said that there was a "50/50 change" that Snow could be alive. If Snow was dead, Clarke could have easily said that Harington was not returning.

Showrunner Dan Weiss told EW, "Dead is dead. We would hope that after seeing the scene and the way it's shot that the answer to that will be unambiguous in the minds of the people watching it. It should be pretty clear what happens in by the time you're done seeing that scene. It's not an 'Oh, what just happened?' scene."

"I'm dead," Harington also said. "I'm not coming back next season. So that's all I can tell you, really."

Fans will not really know what to expect until season 6.
