SYFY Launching 'Nightflyers' Premiere, 'Deadly Class' and 'Happy!' Panels at NYCC

SYFY is looking to make some serious noise at next month's New York Comic Con (NYCC). Aside from being the official streaming partner for NYCC from October 4-7 at the Jacob K. Javitz Center in Manhattan, the cable network's line-up includes the world premiere screening of George R.R. Martin's Nightflyers, panels for new and returning series Deadly Class and Happy!, and the return of Orlando Jones for The Great Debate.

Nightflyers (Friday, October 5 / 4:30 – 6 p.m. ET – Hammerstein Ballroom)

Experience the terror with an exclusive world premiere screening of the highly-anticipated SYFY series, Nightflyers, based on the novella by George R.R. Martin. Set in the year 2093, the series follows a group of maverick scientists and a powerful telepath as they embark on an expedition aboard The Nightflyer – the most advanced ship ever built. As they race towards first contact, terrifying and violent events begin to occur, causing the once tight-knit crew to mistrust each other. It's not long before their main mission becomes survival. Unlike anything you've seen before, Nightflyers combines horror and science fiction in a way that Martin himself has described as "'Psycho' in space." Following the screening, an exclusive Q&A session with the cast and creators follows.

Panelists: David Ajala, Eoin Macken, Gretchen Mol, David Bartis, Jeff Buhler, Gene Klein

Moderator: Laura Prudom, IGN

Happy! (Saturday, October 6 / 12 – 1 p.m. ET – Hammerstein Ballroom)

Join the cast and creators of SYFY's hit series as they look back on the insanity of Season 1 and tease the even crazier second season. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, Happy! follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni), an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man whose life is forever changed by his new partner-in-crime – a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary, blue winged horse named "Happy" (voiced by Patton Oswalt).

Panelists: Christopher Meloni, Ritchie Coster, Patrick Fischler, Chris Fitzgerald, Lili Mirojnick, Medina Senghore, Patrick MacManus, Grant Morrison, Brian Taylor

Deadly Class (Saturday, October 6 / 1 – 2:30 p.m. ET – Hammerstein Ballroom)

Be the first to see the premiere episode of the highly anticipated new SYFY series, Deadly Class, based on the hit graphic novel by Rick Remender and Wes Craig. Executive produced by the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Infinity War), Deadly Class follows the story of Marcus, a teen living on the streets who is recruited into Kings Dominion, an elite private academy where the world's top crime families send their next generations to learn the deadly arts. After the screening, join the cast and creators for an exclusive Q&A.

Panelists: TBD
