MUMBAI: US broadcaster NBC will head to the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con this month to showcase ?Revolution?, the new drama from Eric Kripke, J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk and Jon Favreau; returning series ?Grimm? and ?Community?; the upcoming series ?Hannibal?; and the pilot ?Mockingbird Lane?

On 13 July there will be a discussion on the series ?Community?, a look at the casts? favourite scenes and a tribute to the fans. Stars Joel McHale, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi and Yvette Nicole Brown are confirmed to participate. Stars from "Community" will be available to sign autographs.

On 14 July stars and producers from "Revolution" will be available to sign autographs. There will also be a conversation with television writer/executive producer Bryan Fuller ?Heroes, the creative force behind ?Pushing Daisies? and ?Wonderfalls?. He discusses two of his projects, ?Hannibal? and ?Mockingbird Lane?.

In the mid-season drama ?Hannibal?, one of the most fascinating literary characters, comes to life on television for the first time - psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter. The upcoming pilot ?Mockingbird Lane? is a reinvention of the 1960?s comedy "The Munsters".

Meanwhile ?Grimm?, NBC?s supernatural mythology drama, returns to Comic-Con to kick off its second season packed with chills and revelations.

NBC will also host its annual invitation-only Blogger Party bringing together stars and creators from NBC?s new and returning shows to mingle with the digital network.

Online NBC.com will once again go behind-the-scenes at Comic-Con to bring videos, photos and interviews to fans who are unable to attend. From the convention floor, press rooms and Gaslamp Square Park, NBC.com will be on hand to capture and deliver a look at all of NBC?s initiatives for SDCC 2012.

NBC will also engage fans via various social media platforms with active updates throughout the duration of Comic-Con on NBC.com, Facebook, Tumblr and YouTube, and by live tweeting during the panels.
