The 'Game of Thrones' panel just wrapped up at Comic-Con 2012 and brought us some exciting news: 'Game of Thrones' Season 3 premiere date! Mark your calendars...

'Game of Thrones' Season 3 will debut on March 31, 2013 as announced today at Comic-Con 2012.

In the panel, moderated by author George R.R. Martin, it was announced at the very end that HBO had decided on the March 31st date for a 'Game of Thrones' return.

The panel included Richard "Robb Stark" Madden, Michelle "Catelyn" Fairley, Alfie "Theon" Allen, Rose "Ygritte" Leslie and Emilia Clarke along with producers of the film and they answered many questions from the fans in Hall H (full panel coverage coming soon) but nothing got the 'Game of Thrones' fans as excited as knowing when they could see brand new episodes.

So it's time to excited 'Thrones' fans! Is it possible to set your DVR to record something a good eight months away?...
