No STARZ Outlander panel at SDCC 2019 but there will be some sort of inclusion
Outlander won’t be at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 in an official capacity. However, there will be some inclusion through the STARZ booth.
If you’re attending San Diego Comic-Con 2019, there’s some disappointing news. The Outlander cast or crew won’t have a panel at the event. However, that doesn’t mean the show’s presence won’t be felt.
It’s not all that surprising the show isn’t going to get a panel at the biggest convention of the year. Season 5 is in the middle of filming. While there are going to be many U.S. shows in attendance in the middle of filming, they at least film within the North American continent. The flights don’t take as long as those from Scotland, where the Outlander filming takes place.

Plus, most of the fall shows will have only just started filming and will be promoting their shows for the September and October starts. We know that our favorite show probably won’t return until spring 2020. Promoting at SDCC would be early.
The same thing happened last year. Season 4 didn’t premiere until November so July promotion at SDCC didn’t make all that much sense. Instead, the cast, EPs, and Diana Gabaldon attending New York Comic-Con in October. There’s a chance the same thing will happen here.
This doesn’t mean the show’s presence won’t be felt. STARZ has a booth and the show will be included within this booth. It’s not clear just how many of the STARZ Originals will be included in this but including Outlander makes a lot of sense. This is one of the streaming service’s highest rated shows.
It’s also worth the reminder that the Fan Panel will be there. We shared this news earlier this month.

Don’t take this as something bad for the series. With such a large convention, networks can’t take all their shows. Some of the biggest shows on primetime TV don’t even attend the event, with many CBS and ABC shows not in attendance. The networks will need to plan their promotional events carefully and the timing just isn’t right for a trip through the stones.
San Diego Comic-Con 2019 is the largest and busiest convention. Tickets have now completely sold out.
