HBO’s Connect platform has continued to grow as an important part of the strategy. They’ve used the platform recently for Game of Thrones, True Blood and more. For Comic-Con Sabrina Caluori and her team are going even further to bring all of the fans closer to the Comic-Con action: talent from their shows will act as social media correspondents throughout the event. Here are all the details on how the premium cable channel is going to be using social for the biggest appearance of TV at Comic-Con yet.
Sabrina Caluori: We’ve created some really cool ways for fans to go behind the scenes at Comic-Con this year through our social TV site, HBO Connect. We wanted to give everyone, even those not attending “the Con,” a way to get in on the HBO activities there and share in the fun.
We also have celebrity correspondents from Game of Thrones and True Blood walking the floor at Comic-Con, tweeting about their interactions with the fans, taking photos and doing giveaways. For Game of Thrones, Kristian Nairn who plays “Hodor,” will tweet from the floor on Friday, July 13here. For True Blood, Janina Gavankar who plays “Luna” will tweet from the floor on Saturday here. (remember Janina did this last SDCC too, she was great)
HBO will live-tweet throughout the Game of Thrones and True Blood panels at @GameofThronesand @TrueBloodhbo respectively, providing a play by play for fans following on HBO Connect. Also on Saturday, July 14, HBO Connect will give True Blood fans the opportunity to “flock to unlock” the exclusive Comic-Con trailer. If fans tweet #sdcctruebie 150,000 times, HBO will unlock the trailer on HBO Connect.
The response to True Blood at Comic-Con has always been phenomenal and we’re psyched to return for our fifth year with a panel that includes Alan Ball (creator and executive producer), Kristin Bauer van Straten (“Pam Swynford de Beaufort”), Nelsan Ellis (“LafayetteReynolds”), Ryan Kwanten (“Jason Stackhouse”), Joe Manganiello (“Alcide Herveaux”), Christopher Meloni (“Roman Zimojic”), StephenMoyer (“Bill Compton”), Anna Paquin (“Sookie Stackhouse”), Alexander Skarsgard (“Eric Northman”), Sam Trammell (“Sam Merlotte”),Rutina Wesley (“Tara Thornton”) and Deborah Ann Woll (“Jessica Hamby”). This year’s True Blood panel will be held in Ballroom 20 andwill once again be moderated by Tim Stack of Entertainment Weekly.

What Joe Manganiello told EW about Comic Con-''I'm a fanboy. I grew up reading comic books; I used to draw comic characters as a kid. I'm a huge sci-fi geek. I love seeing what everyone is wearing — the Aquamans and Blades and Japanimation characters. And there's such a level of energy and excitement there. Everyone's having so much fun that it's just really contagious — especially when you get into the panel and realize how much the fans really love the show. I love feeling that. Also, I love seeing the trailer for the second half of the season, which they always reveal. I'm a fan of the show. It was my favorite show before I was on it, so I love being a part of all things True Blood and all things comic book. Of course, the best party of the weekend is the EW party — every year! I'm not even just saying that. That's the party year after year. I love going in there and seeing who's there.'' —Joe Manganiello

According to the schedule that HBO sent to media outlets in May, new True Blood episodes will air on all 5 Sundays in July. It makes sense, because the 4th is in the middle of the week, but it's good to have confirmation anyway. That means season 5 of True Blood should finish up on August 26.
