Overview
- Paramount+ and CBS Studios will host a Strange New Worlds panel in Hall H on July 25 at 12:30 p.m. PT featuring lead cast members, guest Paul Wesley, and executive producers, and the presentation is expected to include new footage and behind‑the‑scenes material.
- Season 4 of Strange New Worlds premieres July 23 and fans can see the first two episodes in an early screening at the Balboa Theatre on July 24 with free RSVP entry and limited seating.
- A Star Trek 60th‑anniversary Hall H panel will follow the Strange New Worlds segment and will bring together franchise veterans with an introduction from Rod Roddenberry.
- Paramount+ will run multiple on‑site activations across SDCC, including a Collector Frontier panel on July 23 with LEGO and Magic: The Gathering, a convention booth with games, a Paramount+ Lodge showing the restored original USS Enterprise model, and limited‑edition merch and badges.
- The concentrated SDCC push is designed to boost fan engagement and merchandise sales and to signal the franchise’s near‑term plans as Strange New Worlds approaches its planned endgame and Paramount undergoes corporate restructuring, so attendees should watch Hall H for any broader franchise news.
