With just less than four months before Game of Thrones season 6 starts, fans can finally start to think about all of the surprising plot twists of the TV series. The ending of season 5 left fans in awe. Here is a preview of the new season of Game of Thrones.

According to Independent, Jon Snow will be resurrected in Season 6. As a proof, Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow, was reportedly found in Northern Ireland set of the show. The character died after his comrades betrayed him.

Now, the only question is how the character will be revived. Some rumors said there is a strong possibility that Melisandre will help to revive Jon Snow. However, this report is still unverified.

For Jaime Lannister, who visited Dorne in the last season, it is now apparent that the Kingsguard will be making a stop in Rivverrun in the next season. Fans are also speculating if his daughter died from poison.

Interestingly, fans will see the return of Edmure Tully and Blackfish. These characters were last seen at the end of Season 3. Also, expect to see everyone's favorite sardonic sellsword Bronn.

Furthermore, It is believed that Euron Greyjoy will become the leader of the Iron Islands following his brother's death. However, in an interview with Pilou Asbaek--who rumored to play the character--, he said, "People can figure everything out. The only reason that it came out is because I was spotted on location in Ireland."

Another interesting thing to watch in Season 6 is the introduction of Samwell Tarlys' family. It is speculated that Tarlys will appear as Sam makes his way to the Citadel with Gilly and the newborn. Six members of Tarly family will be featured in the latest season, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Sam was last seen with Gilly. He is also not aware that his best friend Jon Snow died in the hands of the Night's watch.

Meanwhile, many fans are waiting to see the return of Bran Stark. In the previous season, the Stark child did not appear. With the character set to return in the new season, Hodor will likely join him. According to Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who plays the character, Bran's psychic abilities may have developed even further, so expect some mystical scenes in the latest season.

Game of Thrones season 6 is set to premiere sometime in April 2016 on HBO. While waiting for that time, fans should watch the previous five seasons as they might get clues about the story plot of the sixth season.
