HBO just released a 'Game of Thrones' season 6 poster and it's driving Jon Snow fans crazy

HBO knows exactly what will drive "Game of Thrones" fans nuts. Take a look at the new poster for season six:

Yes, that looks like the mystery man of the year for "GoT" fans, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), as well as a confirmation the show will be back in April. Whether this means Snow is returning or not, we can't say.

When we last saw Jon Snow on season five, he had been attacked by members of the Night's Watch — each taking a turn at stabbing the newly elected Lord Commander. He was left to bleed out in the snow.

Fans instantly began to rally around the character.

Harington sightings have propelled fans to believe that the character will be back. Others feel the show hasn't completed his story.

HBO isn't being coy about playing off those theories. There's the poster as a billboard in New York City's Times Square:
