AMC Networks Reveals New York Comic Con 2024 Lineup

Today AMC Networks announced their lineup for this year’s New York Comic Con, which will be held October 17-20 at the Javits Convention Center in New York City. The shows featured stretch across AMC, AMC+, Shudder, and HIDIVE.

Naturally the Walking Dead universe is returning to take NYCC by storm. A con staple for nearly a decade (and the featured artwork on the badges from 2011-2019), your favorite characters will return in panels spotlighting The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol and The Walking Dead: Dead City. Anne Rice fans can look forward to an advance screening of the first episode of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches. Anime fans, get ready for the Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in Dungeon? season 5 dub premiere (the sub premiered at Anime NYC back in August). And if you’re a fan of horror, Shudder hopes to scare the crap out of you.

Please note that Mayfair Witches and both Walking Dead panels are on the Main Stage, which require Reservations. Reservations go live on September 26 for all badge holders. If you’re unable to secure a Reservation, there will be a standby line.

Full details of the panels are below:

Fans will be treated to an exclusive advance screening of the highly anticipated premiere episode of season two before it returns early next year on AMC and AMC+. Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, season two continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Jack Huston). She is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family. 

Directly following the screening, Executive Producer Mark Johnson, who oversees the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, Showrunner Esta Spalding and cast members Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa and Alyssa Jirrels will tease the new season with a discussion and fan Q&A.

The Walking Dead: Dead City follows fan-favorite characters Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror. In season two, in the growing war for control of Manhattan, Maggie and Negan find themselves trapped on opposite sides. As their paths intertwine, they come to see that the way out for both is more complicated and harrowing than they ever imagined.

The series panel will feature an exclusive look at season two, returning next year, with panelists including Chief Content Officer of the Walking Dead Universe Scott M. Gimple, Showrunner and Executive Producer Eli Jorné, Executive Producer and star Cohan, and cast members Gaius Charles and Dascha Polanco.
