In the "Game of Thrones" panel during the San Diego Comic Con, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were absent. George R. R. Martin, the genius behind the novels on which the show is based, also skipped the convention.

Fans also notice Kit Harington's absence. The actor, who played the role of Jon Snow, who apart from knowing nothing, is now apparently deceased, did not show up in the event and the panel wasn't very keen on discussing it.

Die-hard fanatics of the series still haven't come to terms that the Lord Commander is now gone, digging up every morsel of information that will prove that Jon Snow will be back come "Game of Thrones" season 6. However, Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, quashed all those hopes.

"We saw him get stabbed a lot in the chest, like, I think that's pretty clear," the actress said during the event as picked up by Melty. She added that fans would've seen the coming as the show is known for killing off characters regardless if they are favorites or just plain villainous.

Meanwhile, director David Nutter simply said that "Jon Snow is deader than dead," which means that resurrection isn't very likely for the Night Watch's leader. As for where "Game of Thrones" is headed for season 6, the stars of the show had nothing to share.

Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery in the mega successful HBO series, was quoted by The Guardian as saying, "To be perfectly honest, honey, a lot of us here at the table are in the same position as you guys and I don't have [a] clue what will happen."

None of the panel, which also included Conleth Hill, Alfie Allen, John Bradley, Gwendoline Christie, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Sophie Turner, Carice van Houten and executive producer Carolyn Strauss did not reveal when "Game of Thrones" season 6 will premiere.

Basing on the previous premiere dates, Den of Geek surmises that the new season will air on April 3 next year.
