During his own solo panel today at Comic-Con, Joss Whedon offered a few kernels of info for fans of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog . First off, Whedon said that they were closer than ever to doing a follow up, noting he’d gotten back together with his Dr. Horrible collaborators (and family members), Jed Whedon, Zack Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen and begun work, with several songs written.

“It’s coming along,” Whedon remarked, saying they had hopes of actually producing it next spring – again noting, as he has before, that getting cast members like Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris to be free again, given their busy schedules, was a challenge.As the panel was ending, Whedon dropped another interesting bit of info: The original Dr. Horrible will be making its television debut on The CW this coming season. While Whedon fans have obviously already seen the project (perhaps many times), it is a pretty notable thing still to have an independently produced, internet project make its way to television, obviously having bypassed any network notes along the way – and hopefully can give Dr. Horrible some new fans in the process.Does this deal possibly mean the next iteration of Dr. Horrible could also have a home on The CW? We shall see…
