We get so many casting announcements, movie reveals, television series information, and tons and tons of collectibles news during San Diego Comic-Con. We also get a plethora of brand spanking new trailers from all the upcoming new movies and shows, as well as returning series sizzle reels. But how does a fan keep track of them all? We’re here to help! Look no further for your guide to all the best trailers from this past weekend!
Television
Let’s kick it off with the trailers set for the smaller (sometimes larger than life) screen. Here are the best TV series trailers to hit the internet during the con!
Carnival Row
Amazon Prime brought their new series Carnival Row to the con in full force. Not only did the cast make an appearance on Conan from the con, but they threw a large party Saturday night in which the cast danced with fans while dressed fully in animal costumes, revealing at the end of the night that it was them all along. Prime also released two new trailers for the series featuring a look at the main characters played by Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne.
The Expanse

Picard
Jean Luc Picard is back and he’s bringing friends.

Snowpiercer
That’s right. TBS is bringing the cult favorite film starring Chris Evans to cable television. Sadly Evans won’t be joining the series as this is a prequel show set before the events of the film. Leading the cast of the new show is Jennifer Connelly and she’s calling the shots!
Watchmen
HBO was not about to be left behind from all the comic book fun of this 50th San Diego Comic-Con. A new trailer for the upcoming Watchmen series stunned the watchers of the Watchmen with new footage of all the new characters we’ll be introduced to when the show finally premieres in October. While the heroes and villains we remember from the graphic novel and film likely won’t all be present and accounted for, we do get a new host of vigilantes in an alternate Earth timeline from our own. (Did you catch all the easter eggs from the source material?)
