    Prime Video panels at New York Comic Con:

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    The executive producers and cast of The Legend of Vox Machina will offer a sneak peek of what’s to come in the animated series’ highly anticipated second season. Based on the characters and adventures of Critical Role’s first live-streamed tabletop role-playing game campaign, this fantasy adventure quickly grew into an animated sensation. After saving the realm from evil and destruction at the hands of the most terrifying power couple in Exandria, Vox Machina is faced with saving the world once again—this time, from a sinister group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave.

    Good Omens

    In 2019, Aziraphale and Crowley helped save the world from the apocalypse. Next year, they’ll return to solve a mystery that takes in all of heaven and hell. It’s time for a celebration of all things Good Omens, and some of the creators and cast will return to New York Comic Con for a fan Q&A.

    The Wheel of Time and The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power

    Prime Video presents a programming block for fantasy fans. The Wheel of Time and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power take to New York Comic Con’s Empire Stage for back-to-back panels with series talent from each show.

    The Wheel of Time: Following their season-long adventure that culminated in a showdown with The Dark One and the shocking reveal of The Dragon Reborn’s identity, the cast and creative team behind The Wheel of Time will assemble in New York for their first in-person Comic Con. Join series stars and showrunner Rafe Judkins as they reflect back on their season one journey, both on and off screen, as well as drop a few hints of what audiences can anticipate from the hotly anticipated second season.

    The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The cast of the series welcomes all fans at New York Comic Con to join them for a panel discussion about the first seven episodes of this critically acclaimed show. Beginning in a time of relative peace, The Rings of Power follows an ensemble cast of characters. They confront the reemergence of evil in middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the misty mountains, to the forests of Lindon, to the island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

    The Peripheral

    Fans can also immerse themselves in the world of The Peripheral. The series stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Jack Reynor, Gary Carr, T’Nia Miller, and JJ Feild, as well as executive producers Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan, creator and showrunner Scott B. Smith, and director Vincenzo Natali, as they give fans a first look at sci-fi thriller The Peripheral. The series centres on Flynne Fisher (Moretz), a woman trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family in a forgotten corner of tomorrow’s America. Flynne is smart, ambitious, and doomed. She has no future until the future comes calling for her. The Peripheral is based on William Gibson’s best-selling novel of the same name, and gives viewers a hallucinatory glimpse into the fate of mankind – and what lies beyond.

    Prime Video consumer experience: Fans can also visit the New York Comic Con show floor to experience Forever Fab, a 3D print shop storefront inspired by the upcoming Prime Video original sci-fi series The Peripheral. Forever Fab invites attendees to step into the world of 2032 and see the future printed before their eyes, only to find that the future may have something else in store for them.
