TNT’S FALLING SKIES TO INVADE COMIC-CON AS CAST RETURNS TO SAN DIEGO FOR PANEL AND SIGNING ON FRIDAY, JULY 13

June 25, 2012 TNT’s epic drama Falling Skies, basic cable’s #1 new series of last year, is bringing the Second Mass resistance back to San Diego Comic-Con with a panel Q&A and exclusive look at what’s ahead for the remainder of season two.

Falling Skies, currently in the midst of its second season, chronicles the devastating aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the nine months since the initial invasion, the few remaining survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force, whose nature and purpose remains a mystery. Falling Skies airs on TNT on Sundays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

Falling Skies comes to TNT from DreamWorks Television and is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. Robert Rodat, Remi Aubuchon and Greg Beeman are also executive producers.
