San Diego Comic-Con 2023 is now underway and into Saturday. Following on from Thursday's new looks at Saw X and Harley Quinn season 4, we've got a whole host of fascinating panels kicking off today.
The headline act today at SDCC is the Star Trek panel. While attendees will be treated to a screening of the Strange New World/Lower Decks crossover episode, the rest of us Trekkies will be patiently waiting for potential news from the likes of Discovery. There's also a Futurama panel, for those eager to hear more about the return of everybody's favorite 20th Century layabout.
Of course, this year's convention is looking a little different amid the ongoing strikes with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, but that doesn't mean there isn't still a lot going on. Here at GamesRadar+, we've made sense of all of the major panels you'll want to know about going into the biggest yearly convention of TV, film, comics, and more in our handy SDCC 2023 schedule. We're also keeping the list updated too of what's been canceled so far.
For more details on what exactly is going on with the strikes, you can read our breakdown of the WGA strikes and the SAG-AFTRA strikes. Don't worry though, we'll keep our SDCC 2023 schedule up to date to make sure you don't miss a moment.

One of the first bits of news to come out of San Diego Comic-Con 2023 was the updated release date for Saw X to September 29. Lionsgate also shared a new look at the terrifying movie that sees Jigsaw return.
Elsewhere, Max Original Animation unveiled a new trailer for season four of its Harley Quinn adult animated series. This featured a lot of mayhem, mischief, and Poison Ivy.
Then during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem panel in Hall H, attendees were also treated to a new clip from the animated movie. This features the team trying (and failing) to sneak in. You can watch it here.
The Walking Dead fans were also treated to a couple of announcements: Dead City and the Daryl Dixon series are returning for second seasons, while the Rick and Michonne series now has a new title, The Ones Who Live, and the first teaser.
There have also been some SDCC adjacent bits of news that have dropped as well. Amazon Studios may have canceled their Gen V panel, but they have announced the release date for the new show and dropped a new poster. And although Marvel isn't there promoting its films and shows, they have released a brand-new trailer for The Marvels.
