WHAT JUST HAPPENED??! WITH FRED SAVAGE 5:30 – 6:30 PM – Room 6DE

Acclaimed director and television star Fred Savage cannot wait a second longer to share the world of “The Flare,” the most mind-bending, thrilling, edge-of-your-seat sci-fi show never created. “The Flare,” based on TJ Whitford’s classic series of sci-fi novels, “The Moon is the Sun at Night,” not only sizzled its way into living rooms nationwide, but also inspired FOX to create its first ever after-show, WHAT JUST HAPPENED??! WITH FRED SAVAGE.

Join Fred, alongside stars of “The Flare,” including Shiri Appleby (“Roswell”), Kevin Zegers (“Fear the Walking Dead”), and Tyler Ritter (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), as well as co-creators Matt Silverstein and Dave Jeser and director Jon Cassar (“24”), for a sneak-peek screening of the fourth episode of the after-show dedicated to exploring the fandom surrounding the “The Flare.” The half-hour hybrid comedy/talk show airs Sundays (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. Screening to be followed by conversation moderated by Fred Savage and fan Q&A.

neXt 6:45 – 7:45 PM – Room 6DE

Catch the world premiere of neXt, a propulsive, fact-based thriller about the emergence of a rogue artificial intelligence that combines pulse-pounding action with an examination of how technology is invading our lives and transforming us in ways we don’t yet understand. Coming to FOX in 2020, neXt stars John Slattery (“Mad Men”) as a Silicon Valley pioneer who teams with cybercrime agent Fernanda Andrade (“The First”), to fight a villain unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Panelists to include creator and executive producer Manny Coto (“24”), executive producers and directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“This Is Us”), Fernanda Andrade, Michael Mosley (“Ozark”), Jason Butler Harner (“Ozark”) and Eve Harlow (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) for a moderated conversation and fan Q&A.
