NBC and Universal Television have announced their plans for the
upcoming Comic-Con International gathering in San Diego, which runs from
July 24-27.
The
network will present panels for returning series “The Blacklist” and
“Hannibal” while Universal Television will host panels for NBC’s
“Grimm,” its A&E series “Bates Motel” as well as a new untitled
series
coming to Adult Swim that stars Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and “30
Rock” alumnus Jack McBrayer. Also, Warner Bros. Television will present
multiple screenings and a panel for new NBC Friday night series “Constantine.”
CONSTANTINE
Based
upon the characters from DC Comics, “Constantine” reflects the lore of
the fan-favorite comic, combining noirish storytelling with the evolving
mythology of John Constantine (Matt Ryan), a morally challenged
character who doesn’t come down on the side of either good or evil …
but ultimately might be the only thing defending us against the dark
forces from beyond.
There will be a huge presence for “Constantine” at Comic-Con, including at Gaslamp Square (Thursday-Sunday between the Hard Rock Hotel and the Convention Center) where a 3-D experience will immerse fans in the
world of “Constantine.” Limited edition souvenirs will also be given away.
Comic-Con
fans will have a chance to see the world premiere of the “Constantine”
pilot as part of Warner Bros. Television’s annual Preview Night
screenings on
Wednesday, July 23 at 6 p.m. in Ballroom 20.
The Warner Bros. Television panel for “Constantine” is set for
Saturday, July 26 at 5:15 p.m. in room 6BCF.
This will include a screening of the complete pilot, followed by a
Q&A with cast members Matt Ryan, Harold Perrineau and Charles
Halford, as
well as executive producers David S. Goyer and Daniel Cerone. The panel
will be moderated by TV Guide magazine’s Michael Schneider.
Additionally, on Saturday, July 26 at 8 p.m. in Hall H,
“Constantine” will be included in the Warner Bros. Television/DC
Entertainment three-hour
special Comic-Con event, with cast members and executive producers
making appearances on the Hall H stage and footage from the pilot being

Blacklist” panel on
