For the second year at NYCC, Warner Bros. Television will host preview night screenings in the Main Stage on Thursday, October 9.  Fans will not only view the complete pilot episode of the hotly anticipated series “Constantine” (series premiere Friday, October 24, 10/9c on NBC), but also the season two premiere episode of “The 100” (season two premiere Wednesday, October 22 9/8c on The CW) will be screened.

Warner Bros. Television Screenings:

Thursday, October 9 • Main Stage • 8:30 p.m.

  • Season one of “The 100” saw the human race return, after a 97-year exile in space, to a wildly transformed Earth...only to discover that the human race had never truly left. Clarke found herself forced to lead a band of disposable juvenile delinquents as they faced death at every turn: from a world transformed by radiation, from the fierce Grounders who somehow managed to survive in it, and, perhaps worst of all, from themselves. Meanwhile, as The 100 fought for their lives on the ground, The Ark’s situation was no better. Both on the ground and in space, the final episodes revealed the true desperation of their plight, as our heroes risked everything just to stay alive. Noble sacrifices and heartbreaking choices changed everyone forever, and left them scattered to the wind at season’s end. The epic second season picks up with the group still scattered and desperate to be reunited. As members of The 100 and new arrivals from the Ark stake out their place in a dangerous and beautiful new world, they are confronted with the physical peril and moral dilemmas that come with reforging society. What kind of life will they build? And what will it cost them? This season’s quest will challenge them more than anything that’s come before. Hearts will be broken. Lives will be lost. Heroes will be born. From Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Alloy Entertainment and Warner Bros. Television, “The 100” returns Wednesday, October 22 at 9/8c on The CW.

WBTV Panel Sessions:

Saturday, October 11

  • 7:00–9:00 PM (Empire Stage) “Constantine”:  John Constantine is a man waging war against the forces of darkness — from both within himself and the outside world. An irreverent, working-class con man and occult expert, he’s an experienced exorcist and demonologist with an extensive list of supernatural contacts, each with their own paranormal talents and abilities.  Based upon characters published by DC Entertainment, “Constantine” reflects the lore of the fan-favorite comic, combining noirish storytelling with the evolving mythology of John Constantine, a morally challenged character who doesn’t come down on the side of either good or evil … but ultimately might be the only thing defending us against the dark forces from beyond.  Attendees will see a screening of the complete pilot, followed by a Q&A with series stars Matt Ryan (“Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior”), Angelica Celaya (“Dallas”) and executive producer David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight trilogy).  From Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television, “Constantine” will air Fridays at 10/9c on NBC this fall, premiering October 24.  Become a fan on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Constantine and follow the show on Twitter at @NBCConstantine.

This new otherworldly drama follows Dr. Henry Morgan, a star New York City medical examiner, on his journey to answer that looming question.
