Apple TV+ hosted a fan-favorite lineup of panels of its celebrated original series, marking its debut at the world’s largest fan-based convention, San Diego Comic-Con International. The panels featured cast and creative teams from the hit thriller “Severance,” lauded alternate-reality series “For All Mankind,” the acclaimed workplace comedy “Mythic Quest,” plus a not-to-be-missed panel featuring some of today’s greatest storytellers from “See,” “Invasion,” “Foundation” and “For All Mankind” to share their world-building insights with fans.
In addition to these must-see panels, attendees had the opportunity — if they dared — to get “severed” as they immersed themselves in the world of Lumon Industries at an innovative “Severance” installation at the Hard Rock Hotel. The experience took new Lumon employees through their first day on the severed floor where all of their senses were required if they hope to be reunited with their “outtie.” The experience was created in partnership with Ben Stiller and the show producers.
San Diego Comic-Con International took place from Thursday, July 21 through Sunday, July 24.
