With the SAG-AFTRA & WGA on strike, reports are The Wheel of Time, Gen V, Interview with the Vampire & more have canceled their SDCC panels.

With SAG-AFTRA now officially on strike (joining the still-on-strike WGA, a first in well over 60 years) in pursuit of a fair & respectful three-year deal with the AMPTP, the impact of the strike is expected to hit San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC 2023) hard well ahead of next week’s kick-off. With still five days to go before “Preview Night,” we’re learning from the San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog that Freeform’s Cruel Summer, Amazon’s The Wheel of Time, Amazon’s Gen V, AMC’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, and AMC’s Orphan Black: Echoes have all canceled their panels. In addition, panels/presentations for Sesame Street and That ’70s Show 25th Anniversary have also been canceled.

Set at Godolkin University, America’s only college exclusively for young adult superheroes (run by Vought International), Prime Video’s Gen V explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test, competing for the school’s top ranking. Jaz Sinclair, Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Marco Pigossi, Clancy Brown, Alexander Calvert, and Jason Ritter star. As for some familiar faces, expect Jessie T. Usher (A-Train), Colby Minifie (Ashley Barrett), and P.J. Byrne (Adam Bourke) to reprise their roles from the main series. Now, here’s a look back at the teaser released back in December 2022:
