David Tennant loves Seattle. And Seattle loves David Tennant.

The Doctor Who star will be returning to Seattle in 2026 to reprise his role as one of the big guests of Emerald City Comic Con. Tennant is the newest announcement for the four-day PNW comic convention, as the convergence of continued fan requests from our fans every time we ask about celebrities you'd like to see, and Tennant's own love for the city (and surrounding countryside).

Tennant is busy working on some announced (and unannounced) projects, but he will be here all day with us on Friday, March 6, to meet fans for photo ops and autographs (for which Popverse ECCC Superfans will get a fast pass for!), and also take part in a spotlight panel. 

Tickets for Emerald City Comic Con 2026 are on sale right now, and Popverse Superfans get special access to photo ops, autographs from celebrities such as Tennant, and more. Lots to look forward to! In fact, here's everything an ECCC Popverse Superfan membership will get at this year's show: 

• Guaranteed first access to tickets
• First access to artist alley
• Premium access to purchase photo ops, autographs, and exclusive merch
• Fast pass autos/photo ops
• Access to our ECCC Superfan lounge
• Access to Popverse's video archive from all ReedPop conventions, including NYCC, C2E2, and previous ECCCs

More information about what it takes to get a Superfan membership can be found here.

Emerald City Comic Con 2026 runs March 5 through March 8, 2026, at the Seattle Convention Center. Popverse will be there the entire time, and we hope to see you there, too!
