Is there a chance that those new [_Game of Thrones_ posters](http://time.com/5541092/game-of-thrones-character-posters-melisandre/) be hinting that [Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is destined to die](http://time.com/4908849/game-of-thrones-jon-snow-beric-dondarrion-death/)…again? After HBO released a new collection of character posters featuring each of Westeros’ remaining power players on the Iron Throne, some _Game of Thrones_ fans began speculating that Jon’s poster contains a clue about his ultimate fate. The theory is largely rooted in the similarities between Jon’s pose on the Iron Throne and that of his father…er, [uncle, Ned Stark](http://time.com/4924951/game-of-thrones-jon-snow-ned-stark-name-meaning/) (Sean Bean), on a promotional poster for season 1 of _Game of Thrones_. On each poster, father and son are seated on the Throne holding their signature sword to the right of their heads with both hands. And we have to say, the resemblance is pretty uncanny. > [](https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/status/1101249424347394048) **MORE:** [Your Ultimate Guide to Binge-Watching Every _Game of Thrones_ Episode](http://time.com/5517025/game-of-thrones-binge-watch-recaps/) Unfortunately, we all know that Ned Stark’s _Game of Thrones_ journey ended with Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) ordering Ser Ilyn Payne (Wilko Johnson) to [chop off his head](http://time.com/5517025/game-of-thrones-binge-watch-recaps/). We can only hope that Jon won’t suffer a similar fate in _Game of Thrones_ season 8. _Game of Thrones_ returns for its eighth and final season on April 14. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5541825/game-of-thrones-posters-jon-snow-theory/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5541825/game-of-thrones-posters-jon-snow-theory/"},"headline":"People Discovered Something About the Game of Thrones Jon Snow Poster and It's Possibly Not Great","datePublished":"2019-03-01T15:49:15.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:57:47.536Z","description":"Jon Snow's ultimate fate may be a bleak one","url":"https://time.com/5541825/game-of-thrones-posters-jon-snow-theory/","keywords":["Television","Newsfeed","game of thrones","TV","onetime","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6496637641ecebc0/698944ac457a52d2c6d60737/game-of-thrones-season-8-photos-04.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6496637641ecebc0/698944ac457a52d2c6d60737/game-of-thrones-season-8-photos-04.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Game of Thrones Season 8 Photos","caption":"Kit Haringtonas Jon Snow","creditText":"Helen Sloan—HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5541825/game-of-thrones-posters-jon-snow-theory/","name":"People Discovered Something About the Game of Thrones Jon Snow Poster and It's Possibly Not Great"}}]}] ```
