Amazon’s 60,000 square foot take over just across the street from Comic-Con had fans lining up around its block just to see sets from The Boys, The Expanse, and Carnival Row come to life. Despite having a million other things they could have done during SDCC, die-hard fans of Amazon Prime Video shows waited, some upwards of 3 hours just to see the party inside.

Here were just some of the highlights from Amazon’s week at SDCC:

  • Republican San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer even stopped by the Amazon Prime Video Experience, who Orlando Bloom claims to have run out of the Carnival Row activation due to the immigration storyline.
  • Orlando and Cara showed up in Cosplay costumes at the Carnival Row screening and were dancing on chairs and the fans did not know it was them. The director told the audience that they couldn’t show up b/c they went to the EW party… THEN they took off the costumes and the fans went nuts. They introduced the series and sat in the front row to watch with the guests.
  • Chace Crawford had a surprise birthday cake from the cast/crew of The Boys at the premiere. He was so happy and blew out the candles. (photo below)
  • The Director of the Boys introduced Chace and said “you loved him in Gossip Girls but you will Hate him in this series.” Also all cast/crew were saying Fuck every other word since it’s used a lot in the series.
  • The cast of The Expanse surprised the biggest cosplay fans when they went in the activation.
