The panel will be moderated by "Silicon Valley" star Kumail Nanjiani. The latter is slated to appear as guest star in the revival series.
He will be joined later in the show by other newcomers like Joel McHale, Annet Mahendru, Rhys Darby, Robbie Amell, and Lauren Ambrose.
On the international side of things, the report, this time coming from The Hollywood Reporter, indicated the world premiere of "My Struggle."
