For the first time, Apple TV+ will take over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con International 2026, bringing an all-star lineup of original films and hit series to fans with exclusive previews, cast panels, immersive experiences, and sneak screenings.
Scheduled for Saturday, July 25, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the Hall H presentation will feature the casts and creators behind the Emmy-nominated breakout series Widow’s Bay, the highly anticipated films Matchbox The Movie and Mayday, as well as fan-favorite sci-fi dramas Dark Matter and Silo.

Beyond Hall H, Apple TV+ is also giving fans the opportunity to experience two of its biggest series in entirely new ways, including an immersive Silo Experience and an exclusive advance screening of Dark Matter Season 2.
Step Inside Silo
From Friday, July 24, through Sunday, July 26, fans can visit The Silo Experience at The Lot @ 1st & J in downtown San Diego.
Open to Comic-Con attendees and the public free of charge, the multi-sensory installation transports visitors into the underground world of Silo, recreating the atmosphere, tension, and mystery that has made the dystopian drama one of Apple TV+’s biggest hits.
The experience runs daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with hours subject to change.
Dark Matter Returns With an Exclusive Season Two Premiere
Science fiction fans won’t have to wait until August to see what’s next for Dark Matter.
On Friday, July 24, Apple TV+ and Den of Geek will host a special advance screening of the Season 2 premiere from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in Room 6DE.
Following the screening, attendees will hear from stars and creators, including Joel Edgerton, Dayo Okeniyi, creator and bestselling author Blake Crouch, executive producer Jacquelyn Ben-Zekry, and executive producer Matt Tolmach.
Based on Blake Crouch’s acclaimed novel, Dark Matter follows physicist Jason Dessen as he navigates alternate realities and impossible choices. Season two raises the stakes as Jason and his family attempt to rebuild their lives while new dangers emerge from across the multiverse.
Season two premieres globally on Friday, August 28, with new episodes streaming weekly through October 30.
Hall H Showcases Apple TV+’s Biggest Upcoming Projects
Apple’s Hall H debut will spotlight five major productions spanning action, horror, science fiction, and comedy.
Matchbox The Movie Speeds Into Hall H
Inspired by the iconic Mattel toy line, Matchbox The Movie follows a group of lifelong friends whose ordinary lives are turned upside down when undercover CIA agent Sean, played by John Cena, returns to town and drags them into an international race to save the world.
Joining Cena are Jessica Biel, Sam Richardson, Teyonah Parris, and Arturo Castro, all of whom are confirmed for Hall H.
Directed by Sam Hargrave, the Apple Original Film premieres on October 9.
Emmy Favorite Widow’s Bay Comes to Comic-Con
Fresh off an impressive 19 Emmy nominations, Widow’s Bay also heads to Hall H.
Blending supernatural horror with character-driven comedy, the series follows Mayor Tom Loftis, played by Matthew Rhys, as he attempts to transform his struggling island community into a tourist destination—only to discover the terrifying local legends may actually be true.
Created by Katie Dippold, the acclaimed first season is currently streaming on Apple TV+, with panelists to be announced closer to Comic-Con.
Mayday Brings Action and Comedy Together
Another major highlight is Mayday, a genre-bending action-comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh.
Set during the Cold War, the film follows Navy pilot Troy “Assassin” Kelly after a top-secret mission goes horribly wrong, forcing him into an unlikely partnership with a former KGB agent.
While Reynolds and Branagh won’t appear at Comic-Con, directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein will offer audiences an exclusive preview ahead of the film’s September 4 Apple TV+ premiere.
Dark Matter Returns to Hall H
Following Friday night’s screening, Dark Matter returns to Hall H with creator Blake Crouch joined by Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Dayo Okeniyi, Matt Tolmach, and Jacquelyn Ben-Zekry.
The panel will dive deeper into the upcoming season while offering fans a closer look at the next chapter of one of television’s most acclaimed science-fiction dramas.
Silo Continues Its Epic Story
Apple’s dystopian phenomenon Silo also takes center stage with executive producer Graham Yost alongside stars Rebecca Ferguson, Common, Jessica Henwick, Ashley Zukerman, and Alexandria Riley.
Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling novels, season three explores both the origins of the mysterious underground silos and the continuing struggle for survival within them.
Season three is currently streaming weekly on Apple TV+ through September 4.
Apple TV+ Makes Hall H History
With blockbuster films, award-winning dramas, immersive fan activations, and exclusive first looks, Apple TV+ is arriving at Comic-Con with one of its most ambitious presentations to date.
Whether fans are eager to race around the globe with Matchbox The Movie, explore alternate realities in Dark Matter, descend into the underground world of Silo, uncover the supernatural secrets of Widow’s Bay, or preview the action-packed Mayday, Apple’s first Hall H appearance promises to be one of San Diego Comic-Con 2026’s marquee events.
