It's official: Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) is returning to "Game of Thrones" for Season 6, and HBO has released a new photo of the character -- showcasing his new look -- to prove it.

Check out the new official photo below, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, which reveals Bran's physical changes -- as he's about six feet tall, with short hair -- riding his trusty Hodor:



The last time we saw Bran was the end of Season 4, when he encountered the Three-Eyed Raven -- who will be portrayed by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens'" Max von Sydow in Season 6 -- in a cave, as he sought to control his psychic powers.

"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on April 24, 2016.
