Comic-Con 2026 Just Dropped Its Full Panel Schedule — Star Trek, Batman Knightfall, and the Simpsons Take Over Hall H

Comic-Con 2026 Is Serving Up the Most Stacked Panel Lineup in Years

San Diego Comic-Con 2026 is back, and this year's programming schedule is absolutely unhinged. From Apple TV+ making its Hall H debut to the Star Trek Universe celebrating 60 years of the franchise, the convention is pulling no punches. If you're a millennial who grew up on these properties, this year's SDCC is basically your childhood dream manifested in panel form.

Star Trek Universe Takes Hall H for the 60th Anniversary

The biggest flex of Comic-Con 2026? Star Trek is taking over Hall H with a massive celebration marking 60 years since the original series debuted. Anson Mount, Rebecca Romijn, Ethan Peck, and Paul Wesley from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will be on stage alongside executive producers Akiva Goldsman, Henry Alonso Myers, and Alex Kurtzman. But the real kicker? The 60th anniversary celebration is bringing out legends like Michael Dorn, George Takei, Doug Jones, and Jerry O'Connell — spanning the entire franchise from Deep Space Nine to Discovery. Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry is providing a special intro. If that doesn't make a Trekkie emotional, nothing will.

Batman: Knightfall Gets an Animated Epic and the Simpsons Return

Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios are premiering Batman: Knightfall Part 1, bringing the iconic comic saga to life with Rick Morales supervising and Jim Krieg producing. Michael Mando voices Bane — yes, the same Michael Mando who played Nacho in Better Call Saul is now giving voice to the man who broke the Bat. The panel promises an inside look at this multi-part animated event.

And then there's The Simpsons. Matt Groening is bringing writers, animators, and "top-secret special guests" to Ballroom 20 for what's being described as a celebration of their record-breaking run. They're showing an exclusive world premiere sneak preview of a "chilling brand-new Simpsons story" that will "challenge everything you thought you knew" about the family. That wording is suspiciously dramatic for The Simpsons, and honestly, that's what makes it exciting.

Other panels include Futurama returning with Matt Groening and the full cast, Bob's Burgers with Loren Bouchard and the entire Belcher voice family, and AMC+'s Yaga starring Noah Reid and Carrie-Anne Moss. Comic-Con 2026 runs July 24-27, and if you're not paying attention, you're missing out on the biggest pop culture weekend of the year.
