Below are the five television panels we're most excited to check out.
The Walking Dead
While the cast will likely be tight-lipped about who among them is dead courtesy of Negan (and Lucille), perhaps a promised Season 7 trailer will clear things up.
Panelists include cast members Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira,Chandler Riggs, Sonequa Martin-Green, Michael Cudlitz, Josh McDermitt, Ross Marquand, Christian Serratos, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, among others.
Fans will also get intel earlier in the day about spin-off series Fear the Walking Dead to fulfill all your zombie needs. (Friday afternoon)
Game of Thrones
We already know that the upcoming season will premiere next summer and will only have seven episodes. It's anyone's guess what producers will tease about the top-secret forthcoming season, but they will likely also share some info on the process behind keeping Jon Snow's fate a secret last year, among other buzzy decisions.
Moderated by Rob McElhenney (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), the panel will include a few actors such as Sophie Turner and John Bradley. (Friday afternoon)
Mr. Robot
The second season of USA's breakout hit is already underway, so we may be in store for more information about Season 2. Look for a celebratory vibe from the cast, whose hard work was recently rewarded with six Emmy nominations, including one for lead actor Rami Malek.
Panel discussion is set to include Malek, Christian Slater, Portia Doubleday, Carly Chaikin and Season 2 newcomer Grace Gummer. (Thursday evening)
Star Trek
It's the 50th anniversary of the franchise this year, and there are multiple panels taking place all weekend long celebrating its legacy. Most excitingly, original cast members from various eras -- including William Shatner, Scott Bakula, Michael Dorn, Jeri Ryan, and Brent Spiner -- will participate in a Q&A discussing the impact of Star Trek as well as their favorite memories. (Saturday afternoon)
American Gods
The highly anticipated 2017 drama from Starz is based on Neil Gaiman's bestselling novel. Fans at the panel (moderated by the hilarious Yvette Nicole Brown) will get to hear about how the Bryan Fuller-produced show will be adapted for the small screen. (Friday afternoon)
Stay tuned on Mashable all weekend for video and recaps of the news.
