'Midnight, Texas,' 'Emerald City' and 'Timeless' are in a New York state of mind as they meet their fans at Big Apple Comic Con

Three NBC dramas arrive at Javits Center with exclusive screenings and Q&A's with cast and executive producers

NBC and Universal Television will be heading to the Javits Center for New York Comic Con with three new dramas: "Timeless," which premieres Monday, Oct. 10, at 10 p.m.; "Emerald City," which launches with a special two-hour event at 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 6; and "Midnight, Texas," which will begin later in midseason.

•"Midnight, Texas" (Saturday, Oct. 8, 4-5:15 p.m. in Room 1A-06 - sponsored by Universal Television): Based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris (author of the novels that inspired "True Blood"), comes a journey into a remote Texas town where being normal is really quite strange and only outsiders fit in. Home to a vampire, witch, angel and hitwoman, Midnight, Texas, is a mysterious safe haven for those who are different. That is, until the arrival of a powerful psychic and the murder of one of their own. As the town members fight off outside pressures from ever-suspicious cops, deadly biker gangs, and their own dangerous pasts, they band together and form an unlikely but strong family.

Preview an exclusive screening of the pilot episode of "Midnight, Texas," directed by Niels Arden Oplev and join cast members François Arnaud, Sarah Ramos, Arielle Kebbel, Peter Mensah, Parisa Fitz-Henley and Dylan Bruce, along with executive producers Monica Owusu-Breen and David Janollari for a Q&A session.
