For the third year in a row, Star Trek is headed to New York Comic Con in a big way, as the expanding Star Trek Universe follows its blockbuster July panel with a 90-minute presentation this October in the Big Apple.
While currently-filming castmates Sonequa Martin-Green (Burnham), Doug Jones (Saru), Mary Wiseman (Tilly), Anthony Rapp (Stamets), Wilson Cruz (Culber), and newcomer David Ajala (Booker) will be on hand to represent the ongoing adventures of the USS Discovery crew — now hard at work producing the third season of Star Trek: Discovery — the big draw for fans will surely be the assembled cast of the next big Trek adventure.
Joining series lead Patrick Stewart (Picard) will be the cast of Star Trek: Picard, including franchise freshmen Alison Pill (Agnes Jurati), Isa Briones (Dahj), Michelle Hurd (Raffi Musiker), Santiago Cabrera (Chris Rios), Harry Treadaway (Narek), and Evan Evagora (Elnor), along with executive producer Alex Kurtzman who will be part of both halves of the event.
The assembled Star Trek crews will be returning to The Theater at Madison Square Garden — the site of the last two years of NYCC Trek panels — on Saturday, October 5 from 1PM – 2:30PM ET.

In addition to the extended panel, the Trek team will also be bringing the “Transporter Experience” booth that was on site at San Diego Comic Con back in July, giving fans a virtual ‘beam up’ to the USS Discovery — and it looks like there will be some exclusive series merch available for attendees, as well.
U.S.S. DISCOVERY TRANSPORTER EXPERIENCE
CBS All Access invites fans attending New York Comic Con to step aboard the U.S.S. Discovery and travel to strange and distant lands through an immersive transporter experience. The transporter experience will be available starting Thursday, October 3 through Sunday, October 6 in the Crystal Palace of the Javits Center. Comic-Con badges are required for entry.
Star Trek pin giveaways throughout the weekend at the activation. Exclusive Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard merchandise will also be available for purchase at NY Comic Con.
Our team will be on site for all the Star Trek happenings at New York Comic Con during the first weekend of October, so be sure to watch for the latest news out of NYCC from TrekCore here and on our social media channels as it breaks.
