Peter Capaldi will be making his San Diego Comic-Con debut this July, heading to the sold-out fanfest with BBC America’s Doctor Who. BBC America has confirmed Doctor Who will host a Q&A panel in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center on July 9, 2015 – the first day of Comic-Con.
Also set to make the trek to San Diego are Doctor Who‘s Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald), Michelle Gomez (Missy), lead writer/executive producer Steven Moffat, and executive producer Brian Minchin.
“Tales of San Diego Comic-Con are told in awe on every set around the known fantasy/sci-fi production world,” said Capaldi. “It’s become a fabled kingdom. One I am thrilled to find myself heading for. And to appear in the legendary Hall H is a further twist to the cosplay and comic madness I may never recover from.”
According to BBC America, Capaldi’s first season as the Doctor was the show’s highest-rated season ever. Doctor Who‘s second season with Capaldi will premiere this fall with a two-part episode: “The Magician’s Apprentice” and “The Witch’s Familiar.”
