Disney Television Studios has set its panel lineup for Comic-Con@Home, the virtual program for San Diego Comic-Con that runs from July 23-26. The panels include veteran animated Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy and The Simpsons as well as first looks for newcomers NeXt and Hoop.

The schedule kicks off with a conversation with Nathan Fillion with showrunner Alexei Hawley of ABC’s The Rookie, with other scripted series including ABC’s Stumptown among the offerings. Dates and times for specific panels will be announced later.

Earlier this month, SDCC canceled the 51st edition of their convention due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In lieu of physical exhibit halls, panels will be streamed online free of charge in a initiative dubbed “Comic-Con@Home.”
