Comic-Con International, also known as San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), will be hosting Comic-Con@Home once again this year due to concerns regarding in-person events at the time planning was taking place. This normally sold out event is FREE for all to attend virtually. The programming takes place primarily Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, July 23–25, although there are some panels available on July 21 and 22. The panels themselves will not be available until those dates but you can go to the Comic-Con@Home programming website to see all that is offered: https://www.comic-con.org/cci/programming-schedule.
Search by day or browse the schedule. The times will be listed when the videos become available and there is an option to add it to your Google Calendar as a reminder. All the panels will also be available on the Comic-Con YouTube channel, so you can also access them there if that is easier. https://www.youtube.com/user/ComicCon

Nothing is what it seems, and no one is safe as the tension–and body count–ratchets up. Showrunner Ian Carpenter and creator Aaron Martin join cast members David Cronenberg, Rachael Crawford, and Paula Brancati for a panel discussion about combining elements of traditional murder mystery with the intense horror and bold kills that audiences have come to expect. They will also share a first look trailer. Moderated by Bloody Disgusting’s Meagan Navarro.
