Comic-Con@Home: Here’s how you can watch The Walking Dead panels
By Sonya Iryna
Through Comic-Con@Home panels, fans of The Walking Dead will finally get updates on all three of the franchise’s shows. Here’s how to watch.
For fans of The Walking Dead universe, it’s been a long summer already. Because of the pandemic, the original season 10 finale couldn’t air, filming for season six of Fear the Walking Dead was put on hold, the World Beyond spin-off couldn’t premiere, and season 11 couldn’t start filming on schedule. There’s been very little new information or content coming out to keep fans going. But that all changes this week.
The Walking Dead will have three panels during Comic-Con@Home this year, which will focus on each of its three shows, and will feature star-studded lineups and information about where the shows currently stand, what’s coming, and when fans might be able to see that season 10 finale.
Usually The Walking Dead would be releasing a new trailer for the upcoming season by now, but since filming is delayed and may be for a while, the panel will largely be focused on the season 10 finale. Showrunner Angela Kang confirmed that there also be an announcement about when the season 10 finale will air at The Walking Dead panel.
All of the panels will go live on the Comic-Con@Home website on the day/time they are scheduled. Click on the link for the panel at the start time and a new page should open with the player embedded. You will also be able to see them on the Comic-Co @Home YouTube channel. The panel videos will remain on the YouTube channel after the panel has aired live. All of The Walking Dead universe panels will be airing on Friday, July 24.

This year’s panels kick off with the Fear the Walking Dead panel at 12 noon PST. Chris Hardwick will be talking to Scott M. Gimple, Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg, Lennie James, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Colman Domingo, Danay Garcia, Karen David, Jenna Elfman, and Rubén Blades about the upcoming season six. Only the first half of season six is finished, but the cast should be able to give some hints about what’s coming up for the survivors as they try to determine what Ginny’s operation is all about and how to find their way back to each other now that they’re separated.

The panel for the OG show starts at 1 p.m. PST. Chris Hardwick will moderate the panel consisting of Scott M. Gimple, Angela Kang, Nicotero, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lauren Cohan, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, and Paola Lazaro. The season 10 finale, “A Certain Doom,” wraps up the Whisperers arc and features Maggie’s long-awaited return to the show. Newcomer Lazaro, who instantly charmed fans as the eccentric Princess, will hopefully get to reveal a little more about how Princess will fit into the communities since fans barely got to meet her before things had to shut down.

The Walking Dead: World Beyond panel will start directly after The Walking Dead panel at 2 p.m. CST. Chris Hardwick will lead a discussion with Scott M. Gimple, showrunner and executive producer Matt Negrete, and cast members Aliyah Royale, Alexa Mansour, Hal Cumpston, Nicholas Cantu, Nico Tortorella, Julia Ormond, and Joe Holt.
Excitement is running high for this two-season limited series that will give fans a first look at a much bigger and more complex world in an apocalypse rife with connections and clues that reveal more of the world and the role that the mysterious CRM plays in it. The premiere of World Beyond was supposed to take place directly after The Walking Dead season 10, but it was pushed back until fall or winter of 2020 due to current events. Hopefully, they will have another trailer or some new clips to reveal at the panel.
