Gravity Falls' Alex Hirsch and Kristen Schaal are headed to Seattle's ECCC 2026!
The voices behind Bill Cipher (and Grunkle Stan!) and Mabel are going to be headlining their own panel, signing autographs, and more at Seattle's biggest pop culture shindig this March
Popverse's top stories
- Every Star Wars trilogy is really a bad romantasy story and you'll never convince me otherwise
- Midnighter and Apollo from DC Comics proved that fighting a tyrant together is incredibly romantic
- Members only: Ask Ming-Na Wen, Critical Role, Gail Simone, Karl Urban, Chris Claremont, Denys Cowan, and more your questions as part of ECCC x Popverse member exclusive!
The Pacific Northwest has never been the same since Bill Cipher almost remade reality from the heart of Oregon a few years back... and this March, he’s coming back for a rematch. More specifically, Alex Hirsch, the creator (and voice) of the animated nightmare from Disney’s Gravity Falls, is headed back to Seattle as part of Emerald City Comic Con 2026, and he’s got Mabel, AKA the spectacular Kristen Schaal, in tow!
Hirsch and Schaal will be all present and correct on the Saturday and Sunday of ECCC 2026, which happen to be March 7 and 8 for those of you who happen to be calendar fans. They’ll be signing autographs, available for photo ops, and appearing on a Gravity Falls reunion panel to boot, delighting fans and making all of us dream about a Grunkle Stan spin-off just that little bit more in the process. (It's not just me, right?)
