The franchise's first panel in seven years will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Stargate SG-1.

For the first time in seven years the Stargate franchise is returning to San Diego Comic-Con, with a special panel event.

“Through the Gate: Celebrating the Stargate Franchise” will take place at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina on Thursday, July 20 at 6 p.m. In addition to celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Stargate SG-1, organizers promise “exclusive news, surprise guests, and giveaways.”

The panel will be hosted by Damian Beurer (Legion M) and GateWorld’s own David Read:

It’s been 20 years since Stargate SG-1 premiered and almost 25 years since viewers took the first interstellar trip to an ancient world with the original film. Join Damian Beurer (Host, Legion M co-founder), David Read (GateWorld), and special guests as the gateway reopens to celebrate the fandom, and explore the next chapter in the Stargate universe. With exclusive news, sneak peeks, and giveaways, devoted Stargate fans and new fans alike will prepare to embark on a new journey.

What sort of news may be forthcoming? Your guess is as good as ours right now, but also note two other panelists announced today: Sam Toles, who is Senior Vice President of Digital & New Platforms at MGM, and Kieran Dickson, Stargate Consultant & Editorial Director.
