When New York Comic Con kicks off on October 8, AMC is slated to be there in full force with witches, zombies, plenty of screams, and more.
Ahead of the epic fan convention, IGN can exclusively reveal that AMC Global Media’s New York Comic Con lineup will include fan-favorite shows like The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, and The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, along with new shows like Kill Jackie and YAGA.

Oscar-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones will join showrunner, writer and executive producer Tom Butterworth and executive producer Peter Lawson for a special conversation about the new AMC+ revenge thriller featuring exclusive sneak peeks at upcoming episodes.
Kill Jackie premieres October 2 on AMC+ and follows Jackie Price (Zeta-Jones), who “has been living a luxurious existence for the last twenty years – traveling the world, selling fine art and, above all, trying to stay anonymous after escaping a dangerous past as an international drug smuggler. But just as life starts to feel a little boring, it takes a sudden lethal turn when she discovers a squad of the world’s most terrifying hitmen has been hired to kill her.”
YAGA Panel

Main Stage
Cast members Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid, and Clark Backo are joined by showrunner, writer and executive producer Kat Sandler and executive producer Mackenzie Donaldson for a panel discussion featuring a sneak preview of the new AMC+ series.
Based on the play by Sandler, YAGA premieres October 23 on AMC+ and “reimagines the Slavic folk tale of the Baba Yaga witch as a contemporary mystery thriller. It follows Rapp (Reid), a private investigator who arrives in a small coastal town to investigate the disappearance of a young heir to a powerful fishery, Henry Park (Hudson Williams). Rapp finds himself at odds with an apprehensive local detective, Carson (Backo), a charismatic university professor, Katherine (Moss) and a labyrinth of enigmatic suspects, secret lives and ancient magic.”
