While the Lifeboat's getting fueled up for a second season, Timeless is returning to San Diego Comic-Con next month to honor those who stuck by it during a rough voyage.

Just three days after being cancelled in May, the NBC time-travel drama was resuscitated by the network. And to thank all those who were part of the online #RenewTimeless campaign, a Q&A session and fan celebration at the annual pop-culture extravaganza will be held at the San Diego Convention Center July 20 (3:30 p.m. PT in a 2,200-seat venue).

Timeless was the top choice for renewal among 24 endangered series, with a record turnout in USA TODAY's annual Save Our Shows poll, which was also a factor in NBC's reversal.

Yours truly will moderate the panel featuring stars Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett and Goran Višnjić, as well as creators/executive producers Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke. The Timeless crew will look back on their favorite moments from Season 1, answer questions about some of the show's unsolved mysteries and look forward to the 10-episode second season, which is slated to air in spring or summer 2018.

"As a fan myself, I always love coming to Comic-Con, but this year is particularly sweet," Kripke says. "It was the fans who saved Timeless, so this panel is for them. And I can't wait to come down and give them my sincere and humble gratitude. They can look for me. I'll be the one cosplaying as Lucy Preston."

Adds Ryan: "Can't wait to party with everyone down in San Diego. I'll be cosplaying as Wyatt, so all our fans can ship Eric and me."
