Jon Snow's Ghost appears in first Game of Thrones season 6 clip

Good things come to those who wait, so says the old adage. It's that sentiment which has kept us from losing sleep/our minds over Game of Thrones season six, and in particular, the fate of one Jon Snow. If a recent plot synopsis is to be trusted then that small matter will be resolved in the first episode. Still, that's not stopped HBO from putting the shackles on its actors as Liam "The Onion Knight" Cunningham revealed during his recent Conan O'Brien appearance.

Cunningham says that he's forbidden from confirming or denying a supposed "big secret" connected to the series. Apparently HBO has snipers, or something. The actor, who plays Davos Seaworth, did however debut the first clip from the upcoming show which ties in nicely to the end of that bloody season six trailer. Remember? When Davos drew his sword all defiant-like?

It picks up from that earlier shot in the trailer where we see Davos wield his sword in defense of Snow - which wasn't entirely true. Yes, he probably doesn't want Snow's body cut to ribbons, but he's probably more interested in not being hideously butchered by Ser Allister Thorne.

Game of Thrones season 6 premieres on HBO on April 24, 2016 in the US, and on Sky Atlantic a day later in the UK.
