However, Carice Van Houten, who plays the character of Red Priestess Melisandre, has confirmed that she is not going to resurrect Jon Snow.
"Game of Thrones" season 5 finale episode has seen Jon Snow being stabbed multiple times by his Night Watch's brothers. It is speculated since then that his return for season 6 will be through resurrection process done by Melisandre, as she has started to believe that Jon Snow is the saviour from the darkness. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Houten teased that Jon Snow's resurrection theory is false. Although, she agreed that Melisandre's religion gives her such powers but she is not the one bringing back Jon Snow.
