Comic-Con International, the organization behind both San Diego Comic-Con and WonderCon, has released a statement explaining that WonderCon 2021 will not be happening as an in-person event this year due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns. The event will be replaced by WonderCon@Home for the second year running on March 26 and 27.
WonderCon@Home is also reducing its schedule to two days rather than three due to “limited financial resources” after 2020’s cancelations and digital events.
Here is the statement in full.
Currently, CCI’s other convention, San Diego Comic-Con, is still scheduled to be held in person in July of this year, depending on the status of the pandemic. Both WonderCon and were held as digital events in 2020 with pre-recorded panels broadcast on YouTube featuring talent from major movies and TV.
