Your Guide To Comic-Con's 40+ TV Panels: Upload, Peacemaker, Star Trek, Ghosts, #Tiva And More!
It's almost time to get your Comic-Con back on.
This year's San Diego Comic-Con will be held Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, July 27, as always at the San Diego Convention Center but with some events spilling over to the neighboring Marriott Marquis and even a docked "pirate" ship.
Thus far, more than 40 TV-related panels have been announced, for animated fare (such as Robot Chicken, The Simpsons and Rick and Morty) as well as live-action series (including a pair of Star Trek shows, two Anne Rice dramas, and Peacemaker's post-Superman return).
First-time attendees include Hulu's twisty Paradise, Paramount+'s NCIS: Tony & Ziva and Starz's prequel spinoff Outlander: Blood of My Blood, while at least two shows will be on hand to tout their farewell seasons.
To help you keep track of what TV panels are being held where and when on any given day, TVLine presents its annual handy guide, below. Give it a skim and, if you're heading to the Con later this month, tell us what are your must-hit Q&As!
