Syfy Soars into SDCC 2015 with Panel Announcements

Syfy is returning to San Diego Comic-Con, with almost entirely new programming for the convention. Attendees will be treated to panels on Dominion, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Childhood’s End, 12 Monkeys, The Expanse, and Z Nation.

Of those series, Dominion is the only one that has been to Comic-Con before (although there was a panel for Sharknado 2 last year).

The network is kicking off the convention on Thursday with a screening of the first two episodes of season two of Dominion in Room 6DE from 8:15PM-10PM. Only producer Vaun Wilmott is scheduled to appear.

On Friday, they kick up their presence a bit with Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, and stars Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Cassie Scerbo, David Hasselhoff, and director Anthony C. Ferrante, as well as writer Thunder Levin. The panel will be in Room 6A from 7:15PM-8:15PM.

Then on Saturday, attendees can stop by the Indigo Ballroom at 11AM for Childhood’s End, the upcoming six-hour miniseries, to catch a glimpse of stars Mike Vogel, Julian McMahon, Daisy Betts, and Yael Stone as they discuss the series. Then, stick around for 12 Monkeys at 12PM, with Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Barbara Sukowa, Emily Hampshire, and Todd Stashwick as they look to season two of the series.

A few hours later at 4PM in the Indigo Ballroom, fans can stop by for a screening of the upcoming series The Expanse, followed by a panel with Thomas Jane, Steven Strait, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Cas Anvar, Dominque Tipper, and Wes Chatham.

Finally, at 5:30PM in Indigo, Z Nation will cap off Syfy’s appearance with stars DJ Qualls, Kellita Smith, Keith Allan, Russell Hodgkinson, Nat Zang, and Anastasia Baranova.
