UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - June 23, 2015 - NBC is coming to Comic-Con in full force with a slate of hugely popular shows, including the hottest two new series of fall - "Heroes Reborn" and "Blindspot" - and activities that will include panels and a take-over of Gaslamp Square featuring activations, giveaways and a chance for lucky fans to win $1,000 in a daily scavenger hunt.

In addition to "Heroes Reborn" and "Blindspot," arriving in San Diego are "The Player," "Hannibal" and "Grimm." Also, NBC will once again be throwing its invite-only party for digital influencers at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 11 on the rooftop of the Andaz Hotel. Talent from all NBC series will attend.

In addition, NBC is once again partnering with Comic-Con to bring fans the official Comic-Con App.

"HEROES REBORN" (Sunday, July 12, 1:45-2:45, Hall H; sponsored by Universal Television)

From Tim Kring, who imagined NBC's original critically acclaimed "Heroes" series, comes "Heroes Reborn," an epic 13-episode event series that chronicles the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities.

"Heroes Reborn" takes over Gaslamp Square with a first of its kind 4-D interactive experience where fans will have the opportunity to access their own extraordinary pyro-kinetic ability. Through a multi-sensory experience of interactive visuals and kinetic effects, fans will enter the world of "Heroes Reborn" and use their power with fire to escape a dangerous scenario.

Fans will also be able to take an animated "heroic" photo and tour through a "Heroes" gallery featuring iconic props from the previous series.

The "Heroes Reborn" Q&A panel, which will include an exclusive look at the extended trailer, will be moderated by returning cast member Greg Grunberg. Panelists include Tim Kring, Jack Coleman, Zachary Levi, Robbie Kay, Ryan Guzman, Gatlin Green, Henry Zebrowski, Judith Shekoni, Danika Yarosh and Rya Kihlstedt.

"Heroes Reborn" premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. on NBC.

"BLINDSPOT" (Preview Night Screening, Wednesday, July 8, 6-10 p.m. Ballroom 20; Pilot Screening and Panel, Saturday, July 11, 11:15 a.m.-12:15 p.m., Room 6A; sponsored by Warner Bros. Television)

From executive producer Greg Berlanti and writer/executive producer Martin Gero comes "Blindspot": A vast international plot explodes when a beautiful Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square, completely covered in mysterious intricate tattoos with no memory of who she is or how she got there. There's one that's very clear, however: the name of FBI agent Kurt Weller, emblazoned across her back. "Jane," Agent Weller and rest of the FBI quickly realize that each mark on her body is a crime to solve, leading them closer to the truth about her identity and the mysteries to be revealed.

Fans can discover "Blindspot" at Tin Fish restaurant in Gaslamp Square. They will be able to receive both temporary tattoo sleeves and partake in a photo op where their head will be placed on a tattooed body, similar to the character of Jane Doe in the new NBC drama.

Also, throughout the Gaslamp District, fans can go on a scavenger hunt to search for and find the Jane Doe look-alikes. Once found fans can text "Blindspot" to a number tattooed on her body and receive the next step to enter for a chance to win $1,000.
