The panel will take place on Friday, July 19th, at 5:30 in Hall H. Leading cast members including Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Gwendoline Christie, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, and Sophie Turner haven’t been confirmed, also not announced is franchise creator George R.R. Martin.

While some of the major actors involved in ‘Game of Thrones’ have yet to be confirmed it is always possible that a few of them were being held back as surprise appearances. It is also just as likely that they are busy with other work or could even be avoiding the convention due to the vocal backlash from some fans about how the final season of the series was handled.
HBO has a fully fleshed out SDCC appearance this year which also has panels for ‘Westworld,’ ‘Watchmen,’ and ‘His Dark Materials.’
