The Game of Thrones Q&A Panel at San Diego Comic-Con will be beginning shortly in Hall H, hosted by Craig Ferguson and featuring several cast members. The panel lasts for one hour, and many are hoping that the panel will feature some big announcements or special unreleased footage as a treat for the fans.
The official SDCC programming notes:
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, HBO’s Game of Thrones concluded its 10-episode fourth season in June and will begin filming its fifth season this summer. The series, executive produced and written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, is an epic story of treachery and nobility, set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years. Featured cast include (in alphabetical order) Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, Natalie Dormer as Margaery Baratheon, Kit Harington as Jon Snow, Rose Leslie as Ygritte, Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane (“The Hound”), Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martell, Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, and Maisie Williams as Arya Stark.
John Bradley will also be joining the panel, though he was not included in this original announcement.
Update: This blooper reel just aired at Comic Con!
WotW says: What are you all hoping we’ll hear about the most in this Q&A? I love the lineup of cast members on the panel this year, and Ferguson is a stronger choice for a moderator than last year’s choice.
Hodor!
I guess theres no live video feed?
Is there anything we can watch it on, or at least a live update?
I’d like to hear about the sept scene with Jaime and Cersei and if any of them care to comment on it (particularly D&D). I am curious to know about Dornish casting, too!
SDCC doesn’t do livestreaming. Check Youtube in a couple hours.
Is there a livestream where I can watch the panel?
Congrats on the first real news post.
Really hoping we finally getting some casting news and also any confirmation that Arianne and Greyjoys will appeat next season.
Deleted scene?

Blooper reel!
Casting news casting news casting news please please please.
Deleted scenes are *nice*, but there is usually a reason they’re not in the show in the first place, so they’re curios more than anything else. We know Season 5 has just started filming, so they’ve got to get that going. So please, another big casting thing!
They don’t do livestreams, no. Recording will be up shortly after though, it always is. But according to everyone on Twitter, they showed a blooper reel.
Hurray!! I found you!!
Looking forward to seeing Craig Ferguson herd the cats!
AND CASTING NEWS! Where are you Arianne?
Hodor,
That sucks. C’MON!
comingsoon.net is doing a live update

Casting reel!
Season 5 casting video

heir to Dorne. His father betrothed him to Myrcella Baratheon as part of the alliance offered by Tywin Lannister, then Hand of the King. ”

Well, this confirms what many of us suspected, no Arianne
(ok, this is the right topic)
Ok so real real quick:
–No Arianne is disappointing. All the others are probably things they’d either not reveal, or save for later, or haven’t cast yet, which is fine. But not seeing Arianne probably means she’s being cut. I didn’t want to believe it till now, but now I do. Sigh.
–Jessica Henwick is a nice choice in terms of varying appearances of Oberyn’s daughters. She’s of Asian descent, and really striking looking. Really nice choice.
–Keisha Castle Hughes is awesome. Her coloring is the one that most resembles Pedro Pascal, so it’s nice to see her contrasted with Jessica Henwick and the comparatively lighter-skinned Rosabell Laurenti Sellers for Tyene.
–Jonathan Pryce! Well wow, nice pick.
— I think a lot of us pegged Alexander Siddig like 3 seasons ago for Doran…So that’s a lay-up. A great one, but still.
*checks SHINY NEW FORUM for Arianne Curtain Call*
Yay for all this casting news! Disappointed that Arianne has seemingly been gut though.
I also agree that there has to be more coming. How can they go without adding new characters in the North?
I don’t think omitting Arianne means she won’t be important in the books! Just the show is going with a different angle
Auren,
Greatjon of Slumber,
Re: Arianne
[sobbing…]
Jeyne Westerling to appear in WoW prologue? WHAT?? Cue resumption of baby speculation…
I assumed Hughes was Obara nad that makes me happy!
The rest I will learn to like I’m sure, but I am not familiar with anyone outside of Siddig of course.
The lack of news on the non-leaked rules is starting to really make me wonder if the roles of Griff, the Greyjoy uncles and Arianne are indeed cut. I can see ways around all of the characters easily enough, but it would be a huge change from the books of course!
As the site and oath go…
So our watch begins
Jonathan Pryce I know played Juan Peron in Evita and from the musical Miss Saigon
ace,
OH duh!
I know Pryce from a lot of projects.
He slipped my mind as I was thinking about the Dornish roles mostly….
I like Price a lot and was considering him for the Kindly Man the last couple of years before learning that role is most likely cut.
This blooper reel may be the best episode of GoT ever.
lol at blooper reel.
Apparently Jon Snow had a powerful ally against Magnar. 🙂
