The Star Trek Universe will warp back into New York Comic-Con as part of Paramount+’s lineup for the annual fan convention, which runs from Oct. 17–20 at the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The streamer will hold a fan activation for the upcoming series Dexter: Original Sin on the convention floor, and bring the cast and creators of the supernatural high school drama School Spirits to discuss Season 2.
The School Spirits panel will take place on Friday, Oct. 18 (5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m., Room 409), and will focus on filling in fans on how teenage ghost Maddie Nears (Peyton List) moves forward in her quest to return to the world of the living now that she’s learned how she joined the afterlife in the first place. Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud created and executive produce the show and Oliver Goldstick is executive producer and showrunner. The cast includes Kristian Ventura, Milo Manheim, Spencer MacPherson, Kiara Pichardo, Sarah Yarkin, Nick Pugliese, Rainbow Wedell and Josh Zuckerman. Season 2 is set to debut later this year.
The next day, on Oct. 19 (2.30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m., Empire Stage), the “Star Trek Universe” panel will feature the cast and producers of the animated comedy Star Trek: Lower Decks previewing the show’s fifth and final season, which premieres five days later on Oct. 24. The show, created and executive produced by Mike McMahan, stars Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells and Eugene Cordero as four low-ranking officers on the USS Cerritos, who were all promoted in Season 4 from ensigns to lieutenant (junior grade).
The Star Trek panel will also feature the cast and producers of Star Trek: Section 31, the first TV movie in the franchise’s history. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi (Star Trek: Discovery), the film stars Michelle Yeoh reprising her Discovery role as Philippa Georgiou, a ruthless dictator from the alternative reality the Mirror Universe displaced into the main Trek universe. In the film, she’s conscripted to join a division of Starfleet’s titular black ops division, which includes characters played by Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson and Kacey Rohl.
“The movie is a lot of things,” Richardson told Variety in July at San Diego Comic-Con. “It’s action, drama, comedy — it’s equal parts all of that.”
Paramount+ teases that fans can expect even more surprises during the "Star Trek Universe" panel.
"The fan-favorite Star Trek universe panel returns to New York Comic Con, featuring exclusive sneak peeks and conversations with cast members and producers from Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Section 31, and more. Plus, more exciting reveals and surprises for fans in attendance that you won't want to miss!," said StarTrek.com.
Finally, to promote the inaugural season of the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin — which chronicles how a young Dexter Morgan became a serial killer of serial killers — Paramount+ is bringing the character’s “kill room” to its booth on the convention floor. According to the streamer, fans “will have the opportunity to enter a fully immersive activation for a photo opportunity and a first look at where it all began.” The series will premiere Friday, December 13 on streaming and on demand for Paramount+ subscribers with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan, before making its on-air US debut on Sunday, December 15.
Nickelodeon will also be at NYCC 2024, and they continue to celebrate the landmark 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants with an immersive experience at its booth that pays homage to the iconic first episode of the world’s most famous yellow sea sponge. During the four-day convention, Nick’s booth on the convention center floor (#1523) will re-create and transport fans into the “Help Wanted” pilot episode with 3D-animation, augmented reality (AR) and replicas of SpongeBob’s pineapple home and The Krusty Krab.
Nickelodeon and Paramount will also invite fans to three panels during the convention: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Video Games and Virtual Worlds,” showcasing the popular video game world; “Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants 25th Anniversary Celebration,” a dive into the undersea world of Bikini Bottom and “Nickelodeon’s brand-new fantasy series, Max & the Midknights!,” a behind-the-scenes look at the all-new animated series.
