NYCC 2019: The 10 biggest television panels you won’t want to miss
Come read our comprehensive list of the most popular and buzzing TV panels to attend if you’re going to New York Comic-Con.
New York Comic-Con is upon us, which means that fandoms will be in full effect for a weekend to remember. This is the time of year that fans can show their love for everything fantasy, superhero, horror, and overall amazing. And one of the highlights of going to Comic-Con — other than to display your cosplaying skills — is to attend the TV panels. NYCC usually unveils the juicy goods on the upcoming seasons of some pretty extraordinary series.
The TV panels allow fans to hear from the creators and cast members of their favorite shows about the upcoming seasons. In all honesty, it is fan torture because most of the reveals are hints, which leads to excess theorizing until the next season. But in the event that the show wants to show off that they worked hard on their next season, they might just reveal some unexpected details or provide a sneak peek to make the masses drool. Also, NYCC debuts material on shows that have yet to premiere, so that’s always fun.
For the average binge junkie, Comic-Con is a time to step away from the TV to learn about what’s going to happen in the highly anticipated premiere of their faves. And this year’s NYCC has a ton of exciting shows coming back for another round — and some new exciting ones that we can’t wait to see!
