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, networks, publishers and other hosting organizations 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.
