San Diego Comic-Con is less than a month away, and with pop culture’s biggest and nerdiest party just over the horizon The CW and Warner Brothers recent rolled out their 2018 SDCC line-up.

The CW continues to establish itself as one of the most entertaining networks on television and we don’t want to miss a minute of these fan-favorites. Check out these highlights from the Warner Bros. Television Group’s Class of 2018 coming to SDCC 2018.

On Wednesday’s preview night, Warner Bros. Television Group will be screening the world premiere of Manifest, a new drama coming to NBC this fall. Manifest follows a group of survivors of a flight thought to have gone missing five years ago. While no time appears to have passed for the passengers, their loved ones and the rest of the world have moved forward while they were seemingly in the air.

The passengers must face their new reality and the fact that whatever power brought them back may have done so for a bigger reason. Manifest premieres Monday, September 24 at 10/9c pm NBC.

Though no mid-season shows from The CW will be making panel appearances at SDCC, fan-favorite The 100 will be screening an episode a week early on preview night. The post-apocalyptic drama is just over halfway through its fifth season, critically acclaimed as The 100‘s best season yet.
