Fans of Apple TV+ programming should have been very happy indeed with the company’s first Comic Con appearance. Check out the full wrap-up.
Apple Con
Would anyone be surprised by an ‘Apple Con’ at this point? The company is absolutely massive, with tendrils in not only tech, but the games-space, and movies/TV as well. That last entry made a pretty big splash at this past SDCC too, with plenty of panels celebrating Apple TV+’s lineup of shows.
Those included Mythic Quest, Invasion, For All Mankind, See, Foundation, and the runaway hit Severance. If you don’t know what that is, imagine a company that forcefully creates a work/life separation. Come to think of it, that’s probably not too far off.
Anyway, Apple has shuttled over a little synopsis of all of those panels, so if you’re a fan, scroll down to check ’em out.
The panel content included:
- Inside “Severance”
- Executive producer and director Ben Stiller, creator and executive producer Dan Erickson, and cast members Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Dichen Lachman and Jen Tullock share “Innie” secrets from season one of the Apple TV+ critically acclaimed series.

Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi are joined by executive producer Maril Davis and cast members Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Sonya Walger, Krys Marshall, Cynthy Wu, Casey Johnson, Coral Peña and Wrenn Schmidt to discuss the propulsive third season of the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ alternate reality series.

And as for the lineup of shows, they look a little something like this:
- “Severance”
- From director and executive producer Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson comes “Severance.” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure, which surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives.

Endeavor Content serves as the studio for the series.

- “For All Mankind”
- In season three, the Red Planet becomes the new frontier in the Space Race not only for the US and the Soviet Union, but also an unexpected new entrant with a lot to prove and even more at stake. Our characters find themselves going head-to-head as their ambitions for Mars come into conflict and their loyalties are tested, creating a pressure cooker that builds to a climactic conclusion. “For All Mankind” is produced by Sony Pictures Television.
