Fox TV is always one of the big highlights from San Diego Comic Con. From the panels, to the events, to the autograph signings, it’s definitely something to look forward to over the weekend. Everyone pretty much runs over one another for the chance of getting one of the highly coveted Fox poster tubes.

Orville – Seth MacFarlane, Adrianne Palicki, Scott Grimes, Penny Johnson Jerald, Peter Macon, Halston Sage, J. Lee, Mark Jackson, and Chad Coleman – as well as producers David A. Goodman and Brannon Braga – for an exclusive look at this sci-fi comedy series, which is a take-off of 1960s sci-fi shows like Star Trek. Jon Favreau directed the pilot.
While some of the network’s most popular series such as Gotham and Lucifer aren’t included in the line-up, I wouldn’t give up hope for seeing them throughout the weekend yet. They are usually included in the Warner Brothers line-up, so there is a chance that they still might end up having a panel.
