Rolling Stone’s fall preview flags 20 buzzy, brand-new scripted series across major streamers—from Carrie and Dig to Blade Runner 2099 and The Altruists—spanning horror, comedy, drama, and true-crime-inspired stories, with showcases like East of Eden, Nocturne, VisionQuest, and more across Netflix, Prime Video, HBO, Apple TV+, and beyond.
Ridley Scott says a long‑talked‑about sequel to Alien: Covenant is still in the works, with Michael Fassbender’s android David at the center as he creates a new world; the project may compete for a greenlight with Alien: Romulus, could interlink Covenant/Romulus threads, and even touches on Blade Runner 2099 while Scott notes AI’s impact on filmmaking but says he isn’t using AI himself.
Marvel dominated the buzz with a multi‑year slate, DC’s Lanterns trailer and related activations energized fans, Johnny Depp’s Ebenezer return drew big attention, Spaceballs teased a sequel with a playful reveal, Blade Runner 2099 sparked mixed reactions, and Star Trek offered little news, leaving San Diego’s Comic-Con 2026 feeling crowded yet less revelatory than past years.
SDCC 2026 crowned Lanterns and Marvel Studios as the big winners: Lanterns delivered a standout Hall H panel, trailer, and immersive offsite, while Marvel teased major reveals (a Ryan Gosling Ghost Rider, a new Black Panther, and a Deadpool tease) and kept the in-person energy high with notable reveals like Blade Runner 2099 and Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth anniversary push. Spaceballs: The New One, Mike Flanagan’s SDCC debut, and Apple TV’s Neuromancer tease also impressed, and San Diego reaffirmed it will host the convention through 2030. On the downside, Eisner leaks, counterfeit wristbands causing line chaos, DC Movies’ lackluster slate, the heat/odor crowd issue, and a baffling Johnny Depp cameo provided fodder for the losers column. Overall, chaotic but memorable for fans.
Comic-Con 2026 showcased a wave of reveals from Marvel, Prime Video, Apple TV, and AMC: Ghost Rider in a 2028 film, David Jonsson as Black Panther, Blade Runner 2099 on Prime Video, The Rings of Power Season 3 with new cast, Mike Flanagan's Carrie on Prime Video, and Apple TV's Neuromancer, signaling major bets for the next two years and more to come.
SDCC showcased the first teaser for Blade Runner 2099 (premiering November 25, 2026 on Prime Video), along with Rings of Power Season 3 (featuring Sauron's forge of the One Ring and new characters), Lanterns (a space-noir murder mystery premiering August 18, 2026 on HBO Max), and Spaceballs: The New One (in theaters April 23, 2027), with panel highlights and cast reveals.
