SDCC: NBC outlines panels for the Con

NBC’s lineup of shows will be present and accounted for at San Diego Comic Con starting today.

The network has actually amassed a pretty impressive lineup of very cool programming over the last few years, spearheaded by one of my personal favorites- Grimm. An action show about the heir to a monster hunting lineage, Grimm features a bevy of beasties every week and runs some very complex and conspiratorial overarching plot lines. The show is entering its third season (so it must be doing something right) and if you haven’t caught an episode yet, well, do that.

But I’m a bit biased, because while Grimm might be my favorite show with a hosted panel at the Con, it’s far from all there is to check out from NBC at the biggest entertainment event of the year.

Here’s your full listing of panels and presentations complete with who’ll be in attendance for each:

“The Blacklist”

Thursday, July 18

3 p.m., Room 6A

Panelists: James Spader, Megan Boone, Diego Klattenhoff and executive producers Jon Bokenkamp, John Eisendrath and John Fox

For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader) has been one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. Liz soon discovers that Red has compiled a secret list of criminals over the years: a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies, and international terrorists. He will help catch them all … with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Watch the trailer here.

“Hannibal”

Thursday, July 18

6:45-7:45 p.m., Room 6A

Panelists: Hugh Dancy, executive producer Bryan Fuller, executive producer/director David Slade and executive producer Martha De Laurentiis

“Hannibal,” which is based on the characters created by author Thomas Harris in his novel “Red Dragon,” was one of the best-reviewed series of the past season and was recently renewed for season two.
