Amazon Prime Video and IMDb TV are heading to Comic-Con@Home (yup, it’s virtual again this year) with a whole slate of panels including the highly anticipated adaptation of The Wheel of Time as well as the new TV adaptation of I Know What You Did Last Summer. In addition, there will be panels for Leverage: Redemption, EVANGELION: 3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME, and S.O.Z.
For The Wheel of Time, showrunner Rafe Judkins will be on hand — but can we talk about the hella diverse cast? The show stars Rosamund Pike and includes Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Zoë Robins, Daniel Henney, Hammad Animashaun, Johann Myers, Priyanka Bose, Emmanuel Imani, Sophie Okonedo, and Kae Alexander.
Amazon’s adaptation of I Know What You Did Last Summer will be based on the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan rather than the slasher movie franchise. Showrunner Sara Goodman will be representing the series which features Ashley Moore, Sebastian Amoruso, Fiona Rene, Brianne Tju, and Sonya Balmores.
The panel lineup also includes Hideaki Anno (EVANGELION:3.0+1.01 THRICE UPON A TIME), Nico Entel (S.O.Z.) and series stars and directors Beth Riesgraf & Noah Wyle (Leverage: Redemption)
The panels kick-off at 11am PT on July 23. Below is the order the panels will air on SDCC’s official YouTube Channel.
- SERIES: The Wheel of Time
- ABOUT: The Wheel of Time is one of the most popular and enduring fantasy series of all-time, with over 90 million books sold. Set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it, the story follows Moiraine, a member of the incredibly powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, as she arrives in the small town of Two Rivers. There, she embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity.

Grifter Sophie Devereaux, thief Parker, hitter Eliot SpenceR, and hacker Alec Hardison have watched the world change over the last eight years. Since their last job, it’s become easier – and sometimes legal – for the rich to become richer and the powerful to squash anyone who gets in their way. To address the changes in the world around them, the team finds new blood in Harry Wilson, a corporate lawyer who is looking for redemption after realizing he’d been sitting on the wrong side of the table for his entire career, and Breanna Casey, Hardison’s foster sister who has a knack for computers, robotics, and getting into trouble.
