The My Little Pony Comic-Con panel will take place on Friday, July 22 at 10:30 a.m.

Directly ahead of the new episode, Discovery Family will air three episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic voted on by fans as being the best of the series so far. Starting on Monday, July 18, fans can vote on their favorite episodes through Discovery Family’s website and help select the three that will precede the mid-season premiere.
