San Diego Comic-Con is just a few short weeks away, and ElectricNOW is partnering with ComicsBeat to bring fans, “Con Daily!” This exclusive series will give fans a view into what goes on at the event, especially for those who are unable to attend. Coinciding with ComicsBeat’s 20th anniversary, four episodes of “Con Daily” will air specifically on the ElectricNOW fast channel and will be hosted by Yael Tygiel, Raegan Yorke, Celia Schilling, and Keri Lane. CEO of Electric Entertainment, Dean Devlin, released this statement about bringing Comic-Con to the viewers at home:
“I recall going to early Comic-Cons to promote my films such as ‘Independence Day’ and ‘Stargate,’ long before it became the mainstream sensation it is today. I always felt the special sense of community the convention brought to fantasy and sci-fi fans. Now, collaborating with the award-winning website ComicsBeat, allows me to provide viewers at home who cannot make it to the show with an up-close and behind-the-scenes experience.”
Heidi MacDonald, Founder and Editor in Chief of ComicsBeat, had this to say as a follow-up:
“ComicsBeat is thrilled to partner with Dean Devlin and ElectricNOW to bring the excitement of the San Diego Comic-Con to viewers at home via Con Daily Powered by ComicsBeat on ElectricNOW. As a pop culture writer, I’ve always admired Dean’s independence and innovation and his understanding of what makes people love great stories. We’re also totally delighted to be working once again with Yael and Patrick (Meaney). No one knows Comic-Con and pop culture like they do, and together, we’re going to give everyone an unprecedented and entertaining inside look at the Con.”
ElecticNOW can be see on Roku, and “Con Daily” will be produced by Lucas Thompson and directed by Patrick Meaney.
