The full programming schedule for WonderCon Anaheim 2023 is here.

You can join us for a more in-depth deep dive into the programming schedule on Tuesday, March 14 at 6:30pm PT on our annual Breaking Down the WonderCon Schedule SDConcast, but for now, let’s take a look at some of the highlights for each day of the con.

Friday, March 24

WonderCon is never the movie/TV mecha that San Diego Comic-Con is, but there’s a nice variety of shows and movies for the con this year. On Friday, you can head to the Arena at 4:45 for Wolf Pack with series creator Jeff Davis and “cast” (dare to dream Sarah Michelle Gellar could show up?) and the world premiere of the WBD Home Entertainment animated film Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham at 6pm. Over in North 200A, you can catch the cast of the upcoming live action film Knights of the Zodiac at 3pm; your first look at the upcoming CBS True Lies series with series stars at 4pm; get an exclusive sneak peek at HBO Max’s Fired on Mars at 5pm; and enroll in HBO Max’s Clone High at 6pm with a sneak peek teaser and a panel that includes Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and voice actors Nicole Sullivan and Will Forte.

On the comics side, Daniel Warren Johnson gets his own Spotlight panel at 5pm in Room 209 and promises some special surprises.

Want to learn about the legal mysteries of Netflix’s Wednesday? The Legal Geeks are at it again, with a panel of judges and lawyers, to discuss the finger legalities of the series at 7pm in Room 207.

Later that evening, you’ll want to head back to North 200A for the annual WonderCon Masquerade, where you’ll see the best of the best when it comes to cosplay.

Sunday, March 26

It’s a much lighter day on the TV/movies front, though you can find The Dragon Prince at 12pm in North 200A; a look back at the history of Freakazoid! with writer/producer/voice actor Paul Rugg; and join X-Men: The Animated Series producer/director Larry Houston and writers at 10am in Room 207 for a look back at making the series. If you missed out on either of WBD Home Entertainment’s animated DC films, you’ll get a second chance to see them in the Arena.

There are still some surprises to be found though, as you’ll catch actor, wrestler, musician, and author Chris Jericho on “How to Create Your Own Novel” alongside other novelists at 12pm in Room 207.

If you missed Tom King on Saturday, you can catch him again joining artist Mitch Gerads in Gerads’ Spotlight at 2:30pm in Room 208.

The con (mostly) closes out again with the annual Comic-Con town hall — “Talk Back”, at 3:30pm in Room 213AB. This is your chance to let the minds behind CCI know what you really think.
