The San Diego Comic-Con 2025 schedule may have been missing a Marvel Studios centerpiece, but the panels that were there did not disappoint, with Peacemaker, Predator: Badlands and Tron: Ares all bringing the goods.
Project Hail Mary, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, The Long Walk (a lot of walking this year…) and Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle all got huge Hall H panels. Those in attendance for Alien: Earth’s panel even got to watch the first episode in full.

SDCC 2025 panels schedule
Thursday, July 24
The first day of SDCC 2025 saw the first trailer drop for horror follow-up Five Nights at Freddy's 2, hours before Blumhouse boss Jason Blum and the cast descended on Hall H. Bursting with creepy animatronics, it sees former foe Freddy Fazbear reach out to Abby (Piper Rubio) for help, as other villains like Mangle and The Marionette reap violent chaos.
During the panel, Scream star's Skeet Ulrich's involvement in the movie was confirmed -- though he kept quiet on his exact role. "I will say, I play somebody with a very particular and specific past, and somebody who has a deep emotional tie to what's going on," he told the crowd.
Prime Video's new D&D series The Mighty Nein got a first look and a release date, our first look at Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap sequel, and the Twisted Metal cast and crew teased what to expect of new villain Raven in season 2. Elsewhere, The Strangers Chapter 2 director Renny Harlin said the new movie would focus on more of a "town invasion" rather than a home invasion.
Oh, and we learned that new episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will drop on Disney Plus on December 10.

Day two was absolutely stacked with some of the biggest names in TV. As well as panels for Outlander and its Blood of My Blood prequel, there was also big news from The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, with a new (and final) season announced, as well as some intriguing new cast members revealed in the new trailer for Gen V season 2.

It was a big day for never-before-seen footage and brand-new trailers. The first trailer for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was revealed, and saw Holly Hunter lead a new team of cadets as the chancellor of Starfleet with some help from Discovery alumni Tig Notaro and Robert Picardo.
Friday the 13th is making a comeback, with Horror Inc. announcing that the franchise would return to the big screen for the first time in 16 years. A sequel to the popular video game, which was made unavailable in 2023, is also in the works. Though it wasn't mentioned, it's likely that the studio reached a deal with franchise creator Vincent Miller...so we can expect a whole lot more Jason going forward.
A new trailer for Peacemaker season 2 confirmed our suspicions about Rick Flag Sr.'s involvement in the DCU: he's out for revenge. The trailer saw Frank Grillo's Rick Flag Sr. embark on a mission to avenge his son after Peacemaker killed him. We also see Peacemaker step into a parallel universe where his life could have gone very differently...
The first 13 minutes of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle were shown, which harkened back to last season before diving straight into some demon-killing action.

San Diego Comic-Con 2025 tickets: how can I watch SDCC 2025?
San Diego Comic-Con 2025 was not streamed at home, and recordings of most panels are not available to watch. There was a time during the height of the pandemic when panels were streamed, but that hasn't been the case for a few years now.
That means if you want to watch the panels, you need a time machine to physically attend the event. As far as we're aware, time machines still haven't been invented. Even then, you'd need to get hold of a San Diego Comic-Con 2025 ticket, which would have been tricky as they reportedly sold out.
Luckily, GamesRadar+ were in attendance to keep you updated on all the biggest news as it happened, including descriptions of footage shown only to those in attendance for exclusive Hall H panels. As well as a round-the-clock live blog, we posted frequent update on our social media channels to keep you in the loop.
