NYCC 2019: Allison Tolman, Clancy Brown, Donald Faison and more talk about Emergence

Created by Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas for ABC Studios, Emergence stars Allison Tolman, Alexa Swinton, Owain Yeoman, Ashley Aufderheide, Robert Bailey Jr., Zabryna Guevara, Donald Faison, and Clancy Brown.

A police chief on Long Island’s Peconic Bay takes in a young child whom she finds near the site of a mysterious accident, but soon discovers that the girl has no memory of what has happened or who she is. The child’s mystery becomes more intense than expected when the chief starts investigating the history that led up to the accident and the questions of how and why it happened. A series of bizarre electronic disruptions, unexplained forces and a strange cryptic symbol are also at play, all of which are related to the young girl.

I got to talk to some of the cast about the show at New York Comic Con 2019. They discussed their characters, how they relate to each other, how the cast bonded and what we can expect as the series progresses.
