WGN America will offer a first-look screening of their upcoming drama “Underground” at New York Comic-Con, the network announced on Monday.

The show takes place in the antebellum South, where slaves on a plantation risk everything for a chance at freedom in the North by escaping on the Underground Railroad. The show also examines the lives of slaveholders, slave hunters, and abolitionists.

The panel and audience Q&A will feature the “Underground” stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell (“True Blood” “Friday Night Lights”), Aldis Hodge (“Straight Outta Compton”) and Alano Miller (“Jane The Virgin”), along with the creators, on Sunday, October 11 at 2:45 p.m. in Room 1A06 at the Javitz Center in New York.
