BLINDSPOT- (Saturday, July 23, 12:00-12:45 p.m., Hilton Bayfront Indigo Ballroom: Sponsored by Warner Bros. Television)
Following the shocking
first-season finale, join “Blindspot” — last season’s # 1 new drama
series on broadcast TV — as it returns to San Diego for its second
appearance at Comic-Con! Sullivan Stapleton
(“300: Rise of an Empire”) and Jaimie Alexander (“Thor: The Dark World”)
star in this one-hour action thriller from Berlanti Productions and
Quinn’s House, Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Stapleton stars as hardened FBI agent Kurt Weller, who is drawn into a
complex conspiracy when a mysterious woman, with no memories of her
past, is found in Times Square, her body completely covered in intricate
cryptic tattoos. As Weller and his teammates at the FBI — Edgar Reade
(Rob Brown, “Treme”), Tasha Zapata (Audrey Esparza, “Blackbox”) and the
tech-savvy Patterson (Ashley Johnson, “Much Ado About Nothing”) — begin
to investigate the veritable roadmap of Jane Doe’s tattoos, they are
drawn into a high-stakes underworld that twists and turns through a
labyrinth of secrets and revelations — with the information exposing a
larger conspiracy of crime, while bringing her closer to discovering the
truth about her identity.
Join us for a special
video presentation followed by a Q&A with series stars Sullivan
Stapleton, Jaimie Alexander, Rob Brown, Audrey Esparza, Ashley Johnson
and writer/executive producer Martin Gero. “Blindspot” returns to NBC
for its second season on Sept. 14 at 10 p.m., before moving to its regular timeslot of Wednesdays at 8 p.m. the following week. “Blindspot: The Complete First Season” will be released on DVD and Blu-ray Aug. 2. Become a fan of #Blindspot on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/
