Okay, prepare for a joke so bad it’s good: Jon Snow died in a snow shower of betrayal. See what they did there? The showrunners had him die in the middle of a blizzard, which is like naming a character “Lord Storms” and having him drown in a bathtub. It’s thematic but also deeply silly.

But here’s a weird fact: in George R.R. Martin’s original books, Jon’s death happens at the end of A Dance with Dragons, which is roughly the same timeline as Season 5. But Martin’s version is more vague—he just says Jon felt a cold sensation. Cold? In the snow? Groundbreaking, George.
What Season Did He Really Die? Let’s Get Technical
If we’re talking literal seasons of the year, Jon died in winter—because of course he did. The show’s timeline is a mess, but the books confirm it’s always winter when you’re at the Wall. So the answer to “What season?” is: the season of ice, angst, and terrible leadership decisions.
And for the TV viewers: Season 5 aired in 2015. That means Jon Snow was dead for exactly one year until Season 6 premiered in 2016. He spent 365 days as a corpse while fans screamed at their screens. That’s entertainment!
