San Diego Comic-Con 2024 is bringing the heat, and Peacock is leading the charge with a Back-to-Back Panel Block on Thursday, July 25, in Ballroom 20. Fans will get an exclusive look behind the curtain of Roland Emmerich’s upcoming epic, Those About to Die, followed by a sneak peek at Atomic Monster’s Teacup. But that’s just the beginning of the buzzworthy action Peacock has in store.
Step Into Ancient Rome: Those About to Die: The Chariot Race
For the full duration of SDCC—from Thursday, July 25, to Sunday, July 28—Peacock is bringing Ancient Rome to life with its immersive activation, Those About to Die: The Chariot Race. Inspired by the thrilling new original series, this experience transforms the Gaslamp District into a slice of the iconic Circus Maximus.
Here’s how it works: Step into the betting tavern and align yourself with one of five elite factions straight from the show. With reins in hand, you’ll have the chance to race your team’s chariot to victory, fueled by your own adrenaline and the roaring cheers of your faction.
This isn’t just an event; it’s a full-scale dive into the glory, grit, and drama of Ancient Rome, complete with all the energy and spectacle of the world’s original epic sports arena.
