Via HBO, we’ve learned that there’ll be a Game of Thrones panel this year at San Diego Comic-Con International, just like last year… but unlike last year, it’ll be in the huge Hall H which has a capacity of some 6,500. As James Hibberd notes, Hall H has generally been reserved for big movies or huge TV shows (ala Lost), so the presence of Game of Thrones as one of three TV shows featured in Hall H this year (Fringe and The Big Bang Theory are the other two) shows that the organizers believe that the show has a great deal of interest (as it does). Even True Blood doesn’t get that level of interest from SDCC—it’s in the spacious-but-no-as-large Ballroom 20.The panel is scheduled for July 13th, the second day of the convention. No details yet on who’ll be part of the panel, other than a remark from GRRM that he’s adjusting his schedule to be able to make an appearance at HBO’s request. We expect we’ll be hearing more details soon.

Sounds like Lena Headey will be there according to her Facebook.

"Don't you agree that a lot of changes were made for reasons that weren't budgetary or time related which ended up costing the show in terms of quality?"
"Lovely cheese you have here, next question?"

I wish I could be there! Maybe next year

I hope George moderates the panel again.

[Lady Olenna]

Of course they will be there on the day I don't have tickets for. So bummed.

Tickets sold out in one hour back in May. So envious of all of you who are going. Enjoy. I hope they have the panel on youtube again.
