Someone who read the books said he isn't going to be in this season of the show, because we won't come back to his arc until the next book is released, for the official word. But, HBO is already ahead of the books now, so they are on their own way of trying to make it all work, but some stuff won't be the same as the eventual and actual book stories.
It depends on the story arcs, Arya is still behind the books, and bran is still stuck in book 4. He's literally not cast in this season, so my guess is they'll do some major catching up about him in the next season, along with explanations of the war between the children of the forest and the Others.
