[Spoiler Alert!]
"Game of Thrones" Season 5 saw the shocking demise of Kit Harrington's character, Jon Snow. Following Jon's death, the actor revealed how showrunner Dan Weiss told him that he will be killed off from the hit HBO series.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Harrington shared how Weiss told him that his stint on "Game of Thrones" will be cut short.
"I had a sit-down with Dan and David, we did the Tony Soprano walk and they said, 'Look, you're gone. It's done.' Quite honestly, I have never been told the future of things in this show, but this is the one time I have. They sat me down and said, 'This is how it is...'" he said.
Harrington added that he was also informed that he will not only be ousted from the show temporarily; he will be killed off.
"But I've been told I'm dead, I'm dead. I'm not coming back next season. So that's all I can tell you, really," he added.
Still, despite his recent demise on the show, Harrington said that he doesn't have any bitterness towards the showrunners and the network, according to Design N Trend.
"We have to go by what 'Game of Thrones' does and 'Game of Thrones' treats drama as real life. And people die and don't accomplish what we think they're meant to in real life. And I think that's one of the powerful things about the show," he said.
Meanwhile, although Jon's character is officially dead in the series, book author George R.R. Martin previously hinted that he could still be alive in the novel. In a previous interview, he said, "If there's one thing we know in 'A Song of Ice and Fire' is that death is not necessarily permanent.
"Game of Thrones" will be back with Season 6 in 2016.
