A new Naruto anime on the ninja's birthday, Star Trek at 60 and an announcement to 'turn Spider-Man's world upside down': what's coming this New York Comic Con weekend

New York Comic Con 2026, running Oct. 8–11 at the Javits Center, heads into the weekend with its heaviest slate. Friday (Oct. 9) already featured 'Avatar: Seven Havens' on the Main Stage, AMC+ with 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon' and 'Mayfair Witches', new 'Violent Night 2' footage with David Harbour followed by Blumhouse's BlumFest and, at night, a panel on 'American Horror Story' costumes with Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and Leslie Grossman ahead of season 13. Here are the highlights still to come.

Saturday (Oct. 10): 1) 'Futurama' and 'Bob's Burgers' share the Main Stage in the morning, with Matt Groening and David X. Cohen; 2) Paramount+ celebrates Star Trek's 60th anniversary with surprise guests and an exclusive sneak peek at the second and final season of 'Starfleet Academy'; 3) at its 'The Spider-Web' panel, Marvel Comics promises a look at the future of Peter Parker, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy plus an announcement the publisher says will turn their world upside down — right after 'Amazing Spider-Man' hit issue #1000; 4) on Naruto Uzumaki's birthday, the 'NARUTO: What's Next?' panel brings Japanese voice actors Junko Takeuchi (Naruto) and Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke) to reveal a completely new anime, streamed worldwide on the official Naruto/Boruto YouTube channel.

Also on Saturday: 5) Walker Scobell leads the conversation about season three of 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians', which adapts 'The Titan's Curse'; 6) 'Godzilla Minus Zero' gets its own panel; and 7) DC brings together Jim Lee and friends. The weekend's panels also include 'NCIS: New York', CBS's new series with LL Cool J and Scott Caan.

Sunday (Oct. 11): 8) Matthew Gray Gubler and Melissa Fumero present an 'Einstein' screening on the Main Stage, and 9) 'Tokyo Revengers' closes the convention. Around the show floor are names such as Star Wars' Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid, Matt Smith, Lena Headey and Jamie Campbell Bower. Note that Marvel Studios has no film panel this year — the studio's surprise was the 'VisionQuest' screening on Thursday.
