All the Trailers, Announcements from Comic-Con 2023; Previews for ‘The Continental,’ ‘One Piece,’ More
The proceedings at the 2023 edition of San Diego Comic-Con have been decidedly more muted this year. That’s par for the course considering Hollywood’s writers and actors are both on strike currently, but it’s led to a comparative dearth of new shows and movies announced from the top streaming platforms in attendance.
Still, there were some announcements to tide fans over until the strike is complete. Netflix stole the show with its trailer for the live-action adaptation of “One Piece” that it has in the works, but there were a few other key unveilings for streaming users to look forward to.

“Star Trek” has never been afraid to boldly go, and there have certainly been some downright wacky episodes in the franchise’s nearly 60 year history. But it’s never done a musical episode until now; it remains to be seen if the attempt will continue driving fans to Paramount+ as the show has been doing so far this season.
