Livestream the Breakfast Club reunion, Lord of the Rings cast, Critical Role panel, and more from Chicago's C2E2 2025
Missing C2E2 2025? Be there from anywhere as Popverse livestreams all the big panels from the Main Stage, including Baldur's Gate 3, Critical Role, Lord of the Rings, and the Breakfast Club reunion.

Three days in Chicago with 85,000 people who are as crazy for comics, movies, and TV as me - C2E2 is my favorite convention (even before I became part of ReedPop). This year's C2E2 2025 event has comics greats like Chris Claremont and Tom King alongside the casts of Lord of the Rings, The Breakfast Club, Outlander, Baldur's Gate 3, Futurama, and more. And if you can't make it - or your plans are too busy to catch it all - Popverse has you covered - especially when it comes to those big stage panels.
As we have been for years, Popverse will be livestreaming all the big panels of Chicago's C2E2 2025 - yes, including the Breakfast Club reunion panel. We will also be filming additional panels to share later this year. Some of these C2E2 2025 livestreams will be free to the public, but a majority will be exclusive for Popverse members - as one of the many benefits of being one of our supporters.
Whether you are going and have a busy schedule, or can't go but don't want to miss a thing, Popverse is your place to watch the big panels of C2E2 2025. Without further ado, here's the schedule for all of those unmissable events:
