Fans never believed that Snow had died for good unlike so many other loved characters who met gruesome end on the show and the second episode "Home" has proved them right.
The episode, set to air on May 3 on Star World Premiere in India, shows the much awaited return of John Snow.
Melisandre, through the use of an incantation, resuscitated the late (now living) Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
"I'd like to say sorry for lying to everyone," Harington said in a candid interview with Entertainment Weekly.
"I'm glad that people were upset that he died. I think my biggest fear was that people were not going to care. Or it would just be, 'Fine, Jon Snow's dead.' But it seems like people had a, similar to the Red Wedding episode, kind of grief about it. Which means something I'm doing - or the show is doing - is right."
