COMIC-Con fans in San Diego will have the opportunity to watch the world premiere pilot screening of NBC's high-octane conspiracy thriller The Event. Debuting on NBC this fall, the series follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter), an Everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancee, Leila (Sarah Roemer), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. Sean's quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including: newly-elected U.S. President Martinez (Blair Underwood); Sophia (Laura Innes), who is the leader of a mysterious group of detainees; and Sean's shadowy father-in-law (Scott Patterson, The Gilmore Girls). Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of humankind. Ian Anthony Dale, Taylor Cole (The Violent Kind), Bill Smitrovich (The Practice), Lisa Vidal (The Division) and Emmy award winner Zeljko Invanek also star in the ensemble drama. The Event is a production of Universal Media Studios and Steve Stark Productions. Stark serves as executive producer, Evan Katz serves as executive producer/showrunner, Nick Wauters is creator/executive producer and Jeffrey Reiner the the director/executive producer. The Event airs on Mondays @ 9:00 p.m. EST/PST this fall.
