Paramount+ San Diego Comic-Con 2024 Panels: Star Trek, Dexter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and More
The Star Trek Universe, Dexter: Original Sin, and Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are headed to SDCC 2024.
Paramount+ is boldly going where it has gone before. On Wednesday, the streamer announced its return to San Diego Comic-Con after Paramount Pictures was the only movie studio to beam into last year's pop culture confab. The Star Trek Universe — including Star Trek series Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Starfleet Academy, and the upcoming Paramount+ exclusive movie Star Trek: Section 31 — is making the voyage to San Diego Comic-Con 2024, where Paramount+ will also tout its new Nickelodeon animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and SHOWTIME's Dexter prequel series Original Sin.
