They will probably reveal that slowly, since it's not a particularly urgent or critical bit of info. And I think that realization, for Jon and other characters, is probably something RR will want to stay consistent with his plan.
Not sure what will happen in the near-term with Jon. He's no longer obligated to the Watch, but he also has no real place to go, especially without an army. Maybe Sansa getting to Castle Black will be the catalyst for him to march on Winterfell.
I hope this season isn't otherwise a slow burn bringing everything together for a war with the White Walkers, because I see things going that way.
Supposedly two more seasons after this, so some 28 episodes left. My feeling is there may be some shocking or surprising moments, but not much will really happen this season....ending with Jon marching on Winterfell and Dany boarding a fleet of ships for Westerios. I'm hoping for another major White Walker confrontation but don't expect it to happen (although having the Walkers take Winterfell would be an interesting development).
One big piece that is missing from this show that i thought would be coming about by now is Robbs starks named heir to the north... In the books Before robb left for the twins for his cousins wedding to the freys. He had held a meeting with his lords and named his succesor to the throne. (possibly even given jon the name of stark as he was fond of jon and that is within his power as king)
But anyways in the books he gives this letter to the blackfish... Catylens uncle from the eryie And he manages to escape out of riverrun when jamie is their to force its surrender. So we expect him to be traveling north with this letter. Possibly to Lord Reed who was good friends with Eddard and would be the only other living person to know jon's true heritage.
why i say jon and not bran or rikkon is last word robb ever received of his brothers were that they were dead and his sisters dead or captive in kings landing leaving only jon.
Now that jon has been killed... his duty as the 998th LCoTNW is over and i suspect whoever is the 999th will be the last.
i dont know if they been moving that story along in the show.
But it definately would but a cramp in littlefingers plans.
But there are only 2 main players for the throne controlling all the strings... Varys and Littlefinger. While neither will probly ever sit the throne they both have a ton of control
