Virtual San Diego Comic-Con 2020 Will Be Almost Entirely Prerecorded (Exclusive)

San Diego Comic-Con’s upcoming free virtual event, Comic-Con@Home, will be almost entirely prerecorded, TheWrap has learned exclusively.

SDCC’s online con will take place July 22-26 and feature between 300 and 400 virtual panels, almost all of which will be filmed ahead of time by their respective studios and networks and submitted in advance, a spokesperson for Comic-Con International told TheWrap Monday.

According to the representative, the organization does not currently “anticipate anything live” for Comic-Con@Home, but it is possible there will be “live elements to some programming.”

This means that fan Q&As, obviously, are out, though the spokesperson says some studios and shows have reached out to their communities via social media to ask for questions in advance.

Comic-Con@Home panels will be available for streaming via the Comic-Con International YouTube page, which you can find here.

San Diego Comic-Con 2020 was canceled in April due to the coronavirus pandemic, marking the first time the annual pop culture event won’t happen as planned in its 50-year history. In May, Comic-Con International revealed it would be holding a free virtual con in lieu of the traditional in-person con.
