Here’s What HBO Is Bringing To San Diego Comic Con

With many big names opting to sit out this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, HBO is set to be a major player at this year’s convention, according to Deadline. With one last panel celebrating the end of an era, and a handful of new and returning shows that the network hopes will define their future, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to. Here’s a rundown of what HBO is bringing to SDCC in a few weeks:

“Game of Thrones”:

More of a celebration of the show than the usual preview of things to come, “Game of Thrones” will take Hall H on July 19, with creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss in attendance alongside a handful of cast members. Those set for the panel include Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Iain Glen (Jorah Mormont), Conleth Hill (Varys), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark).

“His Dark Materials”:

The next big fantasy adaptation for HBO, “His Dark Materials” is based on the beloved book series of the same name by Philip Pullman, which consists of “The Golden Compass,” “The Amber Spyglass,” and “The Subtle Knife.” The new show’s panel will be held in Hall H on July 18 and will include cast members James McAvoy, Dafne Keen (“Logan”), Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Ruth Wilson.

“Westworld”:

HBO’s twisty, head-spinning robot uprising drama, “Westworld,” will close out the network’s Hall H panels on July 20. In attendance will be creators and directors Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, as well as cast members Ed Harris, Thandie Newton, Aaron Paul, Tessa Thompson, Evan Rachel Wood, and Jeffrey Wright. Could fans be in for some new info on the third season?

"Watchmen":

Beyond panels, HBO will bring “Watchmen,” the sort-of-sequel to the all-time classic DC comic book created by Damon Lindelof, to the convention in an atypical fashion. Hosted in the Gaslamp District, an “in-world opportunity” will be available for fans to explore.
