It’s Official – Supernatural Going To Comic Con – IN HALL H!!

Warner Brothers today finally announced their San Diego Comic Con lineup and in no surprise Supernatural was listed among the shows attending.  What was a surprise (a HUGE one) is that Supernatural will be the only Warner Brothers TV panel to be held in the cavernous Hall H.  That is the grand marquee room, the one that holds all the high profile events.  It also holds 6500 people, far larger than the 4400 capacity in last years Ballroom 20 or the 1500 capacity in Room 6BCF in the years before that.  All I can say is WOW!

The panel will be held Sunday, July 24th at 11:15am to 12:15pm.  The only official guests so far attending are Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.  More will be announced later.  

As a bonus, there will be a special screening of Supernatural: The Anime Series on Preview Night, Wednesday July 20th.

SPECIAL SNEAK PEEK PILOT SCREENINGS

WEDNESDAY, JULY 20 • 6–9 PM • BALLROOM 20

 

WBTVG continues its Comic-Con tradition of hosting a special sneak peek premiere event on preview night. This year, the Studio is offering fans the opportunity to see some of the most anticipated new premieres of the year.

 

• “Alcatraz”: Executive producers J.J. Abrams and Elizabeth Sarnoff deliver a chilling new midseason drama for FOX revolving around America’s most infamous prison, the one-time home to the nation’s worst murderers, rapists, kidnappers, thieves and arsonists.

 

• “The Secret Circle”: The ordinary becomes extraordinary in this romantic drama about a coven of young witches, from “The Vampire Diaries” executive producer Kevin Williamson, based upon the book series by L.J. Smith (“The Vampire Diaries”).

 

• “Person of Interest”: From J.J. Abrams and “The Dark Knight” co-writer Jonathan Nolan comes an action-packed hour for CBS about an ex-CIA operative and a mysterious billionaire who team up to stop violent crimes before they happen in New York City.

 

• “Supernatural: The Anime Series”: The popular series “Supernatural” makes history this summer as the first-ever live-action show to be re-imagined in Japanese anime style. Renowned animation studio Madhouse — working with the full approval of series creator Eric Kripke — produced the anime series, which mirrors the story arc of “Supernatural’s” first two seasons, providing supplemental stories ranging from prequels and spin-offs to untold tales that fit within the “Supernatural” mythology.
