While the official schedule for the online SDCC, which runs July 23-25, won’t be released for a couple more weeks, studios and networks are beginning to announce which TV shows and movies they will be presenting via online Comic-Con@Home panels.

First to reveal their offerings was Disney Television Studios — which is comprised of 20th Television, ABC Signature and 20th Television Animation — on Thursday, including virtual panels for “The Simpsons” and “The Mysterious Benedict Society” and six more series.

San Diego Comic-Con International plans to return Comic-Con to an in-person event in the summer of 2022, with a smaller special edition convention set for Thanksgiving weekend this fall.
