San Diego Comic Con 2025 is officially underway, and despite Marvel not appearing in this year’s lineup, there’s still a packed slate of entertainment panels and exclusive previews for the most-anticipated upcoming movies and TV shows.
I’ll be rounding up some of the biggest movie and TV show announcements from the Comic Convention, including for returning series such as Peacemaker season 2 and Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 as well as for TV premieres such as Alien: Earth and IT: Welcome to Derry. That’s on top of upcoming movies including Predator: Badlands and Tron: Ares.
There are close to 50 panel sessions in the schedule that studios such as Disney and Universal Pictures and streamers including Hulu and Paramount+ are hosting for some of their biggest movies and TV shows, so it’s going to be a busy few days of announcements. For all the latest, follow along below.
When is San Diego Comic Con 2025?
San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2025 begins on Thursday, July 23, and will run throughout the weekend until Sunday, July 27. Each of the four days has a packed schedule of celebrity panels, exclusive previews and interactive exhibits, but the first three days are the most busy for movie and TV show announcements.
I’m Amelia, the senior editor of entertainment at TechRadar, and I’ll be bringing you all the info you need ahead of the SDCC’s official start.

The last day of the Comic Convention will play host to George Lucas for the very time (the Star Wars filmmaker has never been to the event), who will speak alongside Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang as part of a panel about the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art that’s set to open next year in Los Angeles. However, we’re not expecting to hear any updates about new Star Wars movies and shows.
