Apple TV is going to be a big presence at Comic Con 2026, with the company set to host a two-hour panel and share a first-look preview for the second season of “Dark Matter.”
Comic Con, which gets underway on July 23 and runs through July 26, will be held in San Diego and will no doubt be as popular as ever. And Apple TV will back up its recent collection of 89 Emmy nominations with a strong showing
Not only will Apple be present, but it will go so far as to set up a “Silo” multi-sensory installation that will help give Comic Con attendees a feel for life underground
Apple TV goes big
Deadlinereports that the hit show “Widow’s Bay” will be part of a two-hour panel starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 25. The move marks the first time that Apple has taken over Hall H, giving it a stronger presence at the event than in previous years
While panelists for the “Widow’s Bay” discussion have yet to be confirmed, the show is sure to be a popular addition to the event. Its first season has proven hugely popular with viewers and accounts for a 19 of Apple’s total Emmy nominations
The discussion will also take in Matchbox, a new action movie starring John Cena. Cena will be in attendance, as will co-star Jessica Biel
The movie is inspired by Mattel toys and will premiere on October 9 for Apple TV subscribers
Separately, Apple will also offer a preview of the first episode of the second season of “Dark Matter.” The second season of the sci-fi show will premiere on Apple TV on August 28

Executive producer Joel Edgerton, cast member Dayo Okeniyi, and the writer of the novel the show is based on, Black Crouch, will all attend the screening
