The much-awaited "Game of Thrones" panel at the 2015 Comic-Con was a dissapointment for fans when it came to getting some juicy updates on the show's sixth season. All the cast members in the panel had no idea what's up next.

"GOT" scribe George RR Martin and showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff were a no show this year along with stars Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion), Lena Headey (Cersei), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys), and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime) — the big players of the show, according to IB Times.

The audience tried asking from the cast members present — actors Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Alfie Allen and Liam Cunningham — especially about Jon Snow's fate. The cast evaded the questions related to Jon Snow by mumbling and laughing nervously.

Vanity Fair reported that other than plans to keep the Jon Snow file classified, the cast reportedly had not yet seen the upcoming scripts; hence, they were also in the dark.

"Game of Thrones" Season 5 dealt a huge blow on fans as they witnessed a number of beloved characters die, which is what the series has become known for. In the final episode, Jon Snow shocked fans after receiving multiple stab wounds courtesy of his brothers from the Watch, who all felt betrayed for his compassion to their long-standing enemy, the Wildlings.

Of course, the "Game of Thrones" panel was also fun when they featured an audition reel showing clips of actors trying out the lines they would soon deliver on camera. The audition reel is shown here courtesy of YouTube.

Meanwhile, Lena Headey is set to join the voice cast of BBC's animated series "Danger Mouse," playing the voice of U.S. Secret Agent Jeopardy Mouse. Headey said she wanted to do it because it was pure nostalgia for her, reported Variety. Now that she has children, she said it was a treat to be involved in something she loved as a kid.
