Star Trek is Beaming Down to San Diego Comic-Con 2023

Star Trek is Beaming Down to San Diego Comic-Con 2023

Two to beam down, Chief.

That's right. San Diego Comic-Con kicks off in just 24 hours with Wednesday preview night, and Girafe & Emcee will be on site as SNP's away team all weekend long. Paramount is bringing all sorts of fun to Comic-Con this year, including a special exclusive screening of the Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds Crossover during the Star Trek Universe Hall H panel on Saturday. Here are all the events and panels from Paramount that you can check out if you attend SDCC this year.

Panels:

Paramount will be hosting a total of five panels during Comic-Con weekend. The first panel on Thursday at 12 PM PT, Star Trek: More Bold Than Ever Before, will focus on IDW's current run of Trek comics, specifically the upcoming crossover event, Day of Blood. Later in the afternoon, at 4:30, Modiphius will talk about the latest they have coming out from their Star Trek Adventures line.

Friday at 10 AM will see a celebration of Star Trek: The Animated Series' 50th anniversary with a limited edition pin giveaway.

Saturday is the big day, with the Star Trek Universe Hall H panel at 1:30 PM. Paramount is promising "reveals and surprises" from the upcoming seasons of Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds and a preview of what's still to come from Strange New Worlds season two.

Fans attending the Hall H panel will also be treated to an exclusive screening of the Lower Decks/Strange New Worlds crossover episode (yes, we're jealous, especially of Girafe and Emcee)! We know they're going to go full Boim! Boim! fanboy during that!

Finally, Saturday evening is a panel I wish could go to, and that's Star Trek: The Art of Neville Page at 5:30 PM. Neville will be there to talk about his work on Star Trek, and debut copies of The Art of Neville Page book will be available on location.

For deeper details and the locations of these panels, check out StarTrek.com's official guide to SDCC.

Off-Site Events & Convention Floor:

Paramount is once again setting up The Lodge: A Paramount+ Experience at the Happy Does Bar in downtown San Diego. No badge is required for entry, but you may want to make a reservation sooner rather than later. 

You can also check out the latest of what Hero Within has to offer at the Energize Lounge in the Gaslamp Quarter.

On top of that, the Paramount+ Star Trek team will hand out limited edition pins throughout the weekend.

On the main convention floor, congoers can find the Paramount+ Interactive Booth Space #3529, where you can get an "intimate look at official costume and props from the series."
