Syfy Channel, which annually makes a big show of the big show that is San Diego Comic Con, says they did it again according to this extensive press release they sent to Zennie62Media. Let’s have a look.
Syfy reports “An All- New ‘Deadly Class’ Trailer Is Revealed; ‘Wynonna Earp’ Announces Its Return for a Season 4; ‘Krypton’ Announces DC Character To Join In Season 2; And ‘The Magicians’ Brings The Magic Back With A Season 4 Mockumentary.” And all I can say is DAYUM, that’s a lot to show at San Diego Comic Con 2018. But let’s continue..
DEADLY CLASS
Today, for the first time, SYFY, Sony Pictures Television and Universal Cable Productions presented their new drama, DEADLY CLASS, based on the best-selling 2014 Image Comics graphic novel of the same name. The panel featured comic co-creator, writer, executive producer and co-showrunner Rick Remender, executive producers and co-showrunners Miles Orion Feldsott and Mick Betancourt, artist and comic co-creator Wes Craig, and cast members Benjamin Wadsworth (“Teen Wolf”), Lana Condor (“X-Men: Apocalypse,” “Alita: Battle Angel”), Benedict Wong (“Doctor Strange,” “Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams”), María Gabriela De Faría (“Yo Soy Franky,” “Sitiados”) and Luke Tennie (“Shock and Awe”). Moderated by Dominic Patten (Deadline), the panelists delved into the popularity of the graphic novels, how the adaptation came to life, and what viewers can expect from this unique coming of age story in an alt-universe setting. Kicking off with a special video message from the Russo Brothers, the panel also featured a 13-minute sneak peek of the pilot and an all-new trailer.”

KRYPTON
YFY and Warner Horizon Scripted Television’s breakout series KRYPTON brought the stars and creatives together today at San Diego Comic-Con to discuss how its powerful Season 1 finale re-wrote the history of Superman. Moderator Damian Holbrook (TV Guide Magazine) was joined on stage by series regulars Cameron Cuffe, Wallis Day, Ann Ogbomo, Shaun Sipos, executive producer and showrunner Cameron Welsh and DC’s Dan Evans. After a lively conversation about all of the surprises and easter eggs from Season 1, the audience was reminded of the cliff hanger where the city of Kandor and its many lives were left at stake. The panellists teased that in Season 2 viewers will see planets beyond Krypton inhabitants, Doomsday unleashed and Brainiac’s origin story. Attendees also learned that a beloved DC character will be joining the story and no one is safe. To wrap it up, a blooper reel from season one was shared of all the serious moments that were not so serious behind-the-scenes. KRYPTON is set to return to SYFY in 2019.
