San Diego Comic-Con is next week, y’all, and while the full schedule was released over the weekend, that doesn’t stop the news from coming! Today, Sony Pictures Television has announced not only their panels, but also special appearances at their booth on the exhibit floor!

Sony Pictures Television will be bringing fan favorite series Twisted Metal, Gen V, and Outlander to SDCC 2025. In addition to a number of panels, there will be a Twisted Metal offsite and special booth appearances from cast members of the aforementioned shows.
