Star Trek to take part in Comic-Con@Home event on July 23
By Chad Porto
Comic-Con@home will feature Star Trek actors and crew.
Comic-Con won’t be hosting its usual event in San Diego this year but there will still be opportunities for fans to check out their favorite stars, just not inside of a convention hall like usual. A new event dubbed Comic-Con@Home will bring the usual Comic-Con experience to fans from inside their very own homes. One of the big additions to the event will be the good folks from Star Trek.
The cast and producers of Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Picard and the greater Star Trek universe will be coming together on Thursday, July 23 to talk all things Star Trek with fans in a special back-to-back panel session.
Deadline’s Dominic Patten will moderate the overall Star Trek panels and will be joined by Alex Kurtzman, and Heather Kadin to open up the festivities.
Then the panel will host a Star Trek: Discovery script reading of Such Sweet Sorrow Part 2’s first act, and will be read by Sonequa Martin-Green (Commander Michael Burnham), Michelle Yeoh (Philippa Georgiou), Doug Jones (Commander Saru), Anthony Rapp (Lt. Commander Paul Stamets), Mary Wiseman (Ensign Sylvia Tilly), Wilson Cruz (Dr. Hugh Culber), Mary Chieffo (L’Rell), Tig Notaro (Commander Jett Reno), Alan Van Sprang (Captain Leland), Jayne Brook (Admiral Katrina Cornwall), and the Discovery Bridge crew Emily Coutts (Lt. Detmer), Oyin Oladejo (Lt. J.G. Owosekun), Patrick Kwok-Choon (Lt. Rhys), Ronnie Rowe Jr. (Lt. J.G. Bryce), Sara Mitich (Lt. Nilsson), Anson Mount(Captain Christopher Pike), Rebecca Romijn (Number One) and Ethan Peck (Spock). They’ll also be joined by Star Trek: Discovery executive producers Michelle Paradise and Olatunde Osunsanmi.
After that the stars of Star Trek: Lower Deck will also be on a panel, with Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Noël Wells, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’ConnellFred Tatasciore, and Gillian Vigman all participating as well.
Lastly will feature a discussion with Star Trek: Picard and it’s cast, Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard), Alison Pill (Dr. Agnes Jurati), Isa Briones (Dahj/Soji), Evan Evagora (Elnor), Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker), and Santiago Cabrera (Cristobal Rios) along with special guest stars Brent Spiner(Data/Dr. Soong), Jonathan Del Arco (Hugh), Jonathan Frakes (William Riker), Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi). They’ll talk the first season of Picard and probably hint at what’s to come.
