He's sworn several times he wasn't going to be a part of Game of Thrones' sixth season after his character's apparent death at the end of season five, but not Kit Harington appears to be changing his tune about Jon Snow's fate.

Ian McShane Drops Huge Hint About His Character

In a new interview with Time Out London, the actor finally admits he is in the sixth season after all, and that he did shoot scenes--but he still insists his character is dead.

"Look, I'm not in the show anymore. I'm definitely not in the new series," he said initially.

However, after his interviewer flat out asked him if he filmed any new scenes, he finally came clean and said he did--but continued claiming it was all scenes of his character being dead, and he can't explain how long he'll be a corpse on the show.

"I filmed some scenes of me being dead...it's some of my best work," he said. "I don't have a clue [what happens in the new season]. I know how long I'm a corpse for, but I can't tell you that!"

Rumors that Jon Snow would be brought back on the show ran rampant after the character's death, and as photos popped up showing Harington on set in Belfast. In addition, he has kept the long locks he was contractually obligated to keep for the show, which has made some fans wonder if he is still under a contract not to cut his hair, meaning Jon Snow is still alive, despite the show's best efforts to make it seem like he is dead.

However, Harington could still be telling the truth, even if fans don't believe it. Other characters who were killed in season finale episodes have been brought back in season premieres in the past, as corpses that are mourned over. The most notable example was of Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance), who was murdered by his son Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) with a crossbow in the season four finale. However, he was present in the season five premiere for a scene showing his daughter Cersei (Lena Headey) and other son, Jamie (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), mourning him.

Game of Thrones season 6 premieres Sunday, April 24 at 9 p.m. on HBO.
