SPECIAL SNEAK PEEK PILOT SCREENINGS
WEDNESDAY, JULY 8 – 6:00–10:00 p.m.
The first time is always the best time. Comic-Con and Warner Bros. Television proudly continue our annual Preview Night tradition with exclusive world premiere screenings of the pilot episodes of four of the most highly anticipated series of the 2015–16 television season — “Supergirl,” “Blindspot,” “Containment,” and “Lucifer” — as well as a brand-new episode of “Teen Titans Go!” Ballroom 20
“Containment”: When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure in Containment. Torn apart from their loved ones, the survivors trapped within the cordon are fighting against not only fatal infection, but also isolation, fear and the disintegration of society around them. But as they begin to gain each other’s trust, hope remains, and on either side of the cordon unlikely heroes will rise.
“Lucifer”: The story of the original fallen angel. Bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, Lucifer Morningstar has resigned his throne and retired to the City of Angels, where he owns an upscale piano bar called Lux. When a beautiful pop star is murdered, he feels something awaken deep within him for the first time in roughly 10 billion years. Is he actually capable of feelings for a human being? The very thought disturbs him. The murder attracts the attention of LAPD homicide detective Chloe Dancer, who finds herself both repulsed and fascinated by Lucifer. At the same time, God’s emissary, the angel Amenadiel, has been sent to Los Angeles to convince Lucifer to return to Hell. But with the City of Angels at his feet and a newfound purpose, Lucifer’s having too much fun to go back now.
