Amazon is bringing The Boys, Good Omens and more to New York Comic Con
Amazon Prime Video today announced its lineup for New York Comic Con 2018. The panels feature highly-anticipated new Prime Original series Good Omens and The Boys, as well as returning favourites The Man in the High Castle and Lore. Cast and creators participating in the panels include Neil Gaiman, showrunner of Good Omens along with series stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant; The Man in the High Castle executive producer Isa Dick Hackett along with cast members; Gale Anne Hurd, executive producer of Lore; and Eric Kripke showrunner of The Boys. Cast and creators will also participate in press rooms and autograph signings.
Comic-Con attendees will be treated to surprises and exclusive first looks at two exciting 2019 series, Good Omens and The Boys, as well as given a sneak-peak into this fall’s upcoming season of Lore. Additionally, Prime Video will present an exclusive premiere screening for The Man in the High Castle and Q&A with cast and creators ahead of the Friday, October 5 season three debut.
Also announced today is a unique fan experience at NYCC for the forthcoming series Good Omens. On the convention floor, a peculiar elevator will carry guests to an undisclosed location, detailing their fate in the great cosmic chess game between good and evil. Doors will open to reveal guests’ ill-fated luck, or alternately their blessed end, as they step inside either Heaven or Hell. “Heaven” will welcome guests to fussy angel Aziraphale’s bookshop, where they can explore the antiquities within and even try their hand at speaking to God. Guests destined for “Hell,” will be welcomed to hop inside loose-living demon Crowley’s 1926 Bentley for a devilish photo moment. Fans unable to attend NYCC will get the chance to digitally interact with the experience through a series of social media extensions.
A current schedule can be found below. Please RSVP to the show leads listed below if you are interested in attending the panels or press rooms. RSVPing does not guarantee entry- a confirmation email will be sent at a later date if we are able to accommodate your requests.
