on

AMC Global Media is returning to New York Comic Con with a slate of panels spanning new AMC+ originals, returning fan favorites, and horror programming from Shudder.

The network and streaming brands will take over the convention’s Main Stage on Friday, Oct. 9, with panels devoted to Kill Jackie, YAGA, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The programming continues Saturday with panels dedicated to The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula and Shudder’s annual horror showcase.

The Friday lineup will feature cast and creative teams offering previews and behind-the-scenes conversations about several upcoming and returning series.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Leads Kill Jackie Panel

The Friday programming begins with “Kill Jackie” at 3:30 p.m. on the Main Stage.

Series star Catherine Zeta-Jones, along with showrunner, writer, and executive producer Tom Butterworth and executive producer Peter Lawson, will discuss the new AMC+ revenge thriller. Collider‘s Perri Nemiroff will moderate the conversation, which will include exclusive footage from upcoming episodes.

Premiering Oct. 2 on AMC+, Kill Jackie centers on Jackie Price, played by Zeta-Jones, a former international drug smuggler who has spent two decades attempting to disappear into a luxurious, anonymous life.

That existence is disrupted when Jackie discovers that a group of elite assassins known as the Seven Demons has been hired to kill her.

Believing someone from her past is responsible, Jackie returns to the skills she once relied upon and sets out to eliminate the assassins before they reach her. The investigation ultimately forces her to confront secrets she has spent years trying to leave behind.

The panel is scheduled for 3:30-4 p.m.

YAGA Brings a Modern Baba Yaga Mystery to NYCC

Next up is “YAGA,” scheduled for 4:03-4:33 p.m. on the Main Stage.

The AMC+ series features Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid and Clark Backo, who will join showrunner, writer and executive producer Kat Sandler and executive producer Mackenzie Donaldson for a discussion and sneak preview.

The panel will be moderated by TV Guide Magazine and TV Insider‘s Damian Holbrook.

Based on Sandler’s play, YAGA reimagines the Slavic folklore figure Baba Yaga as the centerpiece of a contemporary mystery thriller.

Reid plays Rapp, a private investigator who travels to a small coastal community to investigate the disappearance of Henry Park, the young heir to a powerful fishing family.

His investigation brings him into conflict with local detective Carson, played by Backo, while Moss portrays Katherine, a charismatic university professor. As Rapp digs deeper, he encounters secret identities, mysterious suspects and indications that something much older—and more supernatural—is at work.

YAGA premieres Oct. 23 on AMC+. The series is an original production from Canadian streamer Crave, produced by Blink49 Studios and Front Street Pictures in association with Bell Media. International distribution is handled by Sphere Abacus, a Bell Media company.

Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Offers First Look at Season 3

AMC’s supernatural drama Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches follows at 4:36 p.m.

Stars Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, Betsy Brandt and Eliza Scanlen will join showrunner and executive producer Esta Spalding and executive producer Mark Johnson for a preview of the show’s third season.

Holbrook will again moderate.

The panel will feature an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming season ahead of its premiere on AMC and AMC+.

Season three returns to Salem, where the Mayfair witches face new threats as ancient magic intersects with new bloodlines. Rowan Mayfair, played by Daddario, finds herself at the center of the conflict as she attempts to harness her growing power while confronting forces seeking to control the witches’ future.

The panel is scheduled for 4:36-5:16 p.m.

Daryl Dixon Heads Toward Its Final Season

Friday’s Main Stage programming concludes with “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon” from 5:19-6 p.m.

Executive producer and star Melissa McBride, showrunner and executive producer David Zabel, and executive producer Scott M. Gimple will discuss the fourth and final season of the series.

The panel will also feature never-before-seen footage from the upcoming season.

The final season continues the story of Daryl Dixon, played by Norman Reedus, and Carol, played by McBride, as they make their way through the devastated landscape of Spain. As their journey continues, the two characters confront an uncertain future while holding onto their connection with one another.

The Boulet Brothers Celebrate 10 Years of Dragula

AMC Global Media’s New York Comic Con programming shifts to Shudder on Saturday.

“The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: 10 Years of Terror” will take place Oct. 10 from 2-2:45 p.m. in Room 408.

The Boulet Brothers will celebrate a decade of the horror-themed reality competition while looking ahead to the show’s upcoming seventh season.

The panel promises a behind-the-scenes look at the production, stories from the series’ first 10 years and an exclusive first look at Season 7.

Shudder Brings Its “Season of Screams” to NYCC

Saturday’s programming concludes with Shudder’s annual horror panel, “Shudder Is Here to Scare the S— Out of You! Celebrating the Season of Screams,” scheduled for 6:30-7:30 p.m. in Room 405.

The panel will examine the current state of horror, what continues to frighten audiences and where the genre is headed, while also looking back at the past year of Shudder programming.

The discussion will include exclusive first looks at upcoming projects and a preview of what’s ahead for the streamer.
