NEW YORK, NY - July 5, 2017 - As SYFY celebrates its 25th anniversary and its recent brand reboot, the network is headed to San Diego Comic-Con bigger and better than ever before.

And SYFY will once again extend the fun to fans nationwide, with a three-night live TV event, SYFY LIVE FROM COMIC-CON, hosted by Zachary Levi.

"San Diego Comic-Con is the pinnacle event of the year for sci-fi enthusiasts, and as the only network dedicated to the genre 24/7, we can't wait to celebrate in a big way," said Alexandra Shapiro, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Digital, USA Network and SYFY. "SYFY is going to San Diego this year with a singular focus: to put fans first."

SYFY's SDCC takeover includes:

PANELS AND SCREENINGS!

· The ultimate sci-fi debate throwdown! Moderated by John Hodgman, the biggest names in the sci-fi universe duke it out over the most influential moments, milestones and people in the genre's history. In "SYFY Hosts the Great Debate," our expert panel will have the final word (or not!) on important topics like: "Star Trek" or "Star Wars"? Did Han or Greedo shoot first? And just who was the most influential captain of all time?

· Cosplay karaoke buses! Take the stage - and the mic - to belt out your favorite sci-fi theme songs on SYFY buses traveling throughout the city. You might even be surprised by one of your favorite stars!

· Cosplay repair carts! Get an expert makeup touch-up or costume repair at these roaming carts, designed to ensure that all cosplaying 'con-goers are at their camera-ready best.

· A SYFY drumline! A drumline marching through the streets of the Gaslamp Quarter, playing sci-fi theme songs and commemorating major moments in science fiction history? Yes, please.

· The Nerd Party lives on! SYFY is partnering with Zachary Levi to co-host his annual invitation-only Friday night party.

ROUND-THE-CLOCK COVERAGE!
