Warner Bros. just announced which of their TV shows will be hosting panels and sneak peeks at the big event, including The Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries and Revolution. And ABC has announced three shows that will be featured as well — Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Once Upon a Time and its spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland — which are sure to receive a lot of buzz at Comic-Con 2013, which will run from Thursday, July 18 to Sunday, July 21.
