Under The Tents: SDCC News for June 25, 2013 [Late Edition]

We’ve started a new, quasi-regular column on the Blog titled “Under The Tents”. The title is symbolic, as it’s representative of the times we all line up under the tents waiting for those big moments to happen inside Hall H or Ballroom 20.

Here’s the stuff you might have missed for today:

  • Actor and comedian Ralph Garman revealed via Twitter that he will be moderating the Dexter panel this year – and thus that Dexter will be back to promote their final season.

  • USA is bringing Psych back this year, with an even bigger presence than usual. The panel, which takes place on Thursday, will be hosted by fan favorite Cary Elwes. Deadline has the scoop on the panel, as well as a very special offsite screening on Wednesday night:

Panelists at the July 18 Comic-Con event include Roday, Dulé Hill, Corbin Bernsen, Lawson and Timothy Omundson, along with Kirsten Nelson. Also joining the panel are creator and executive producer Steve Franks, and executive producers Chris Henze and Kelly Kulchak. The night before, the show will hold an exclusive midnight screening of the upcoming Psych: The Musical two-hour episode airing this winter on USA
