Twisted Metal, Wheel of Time, Archer & More: SDCC 2023 TV (Wed/Thurs)
San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Preview Night & Thursday TV schedules include Harley Quinn, Ghosts, The Wheel of Time, Twisted Metal, Archer & more!
With only about two weeks to go until the start of San Diego Comic-Con 2023 (SDCC 2023), we've reached that time in the lead-up to the huge pop culture event when we get to the heart of the four-day (plus preview night) extravaganza – the panels. From the television & streaming side, it looks like a lot of what was meant for Hall H might be saved for smaller sessions, convention floor presentations, or released directly online during the event. But that doesn't mean that there won't be a lot to enjoy – and we have a look at what the small screen has in store for Preview Night and the first day of SDCC. We're talking Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake, Harley Quinn, Ghosts, Jury Duty, The Wheel of Time, Cruel Summer, Twisted Metal, What We Do in the Shadows, Archer, and more – but just to be clear? Between now and then, there are the very large matters of the current WGA/AMPTP writers' strike to consider, as well as a potential SAG-AFTRa strike, so things might change at SDCC 2023. But for now…
