TORONTO (August 27, 2014) – Canada’s largest genre convention FAN EXPO Canada™ is just one day away, and Space and its flagship series INNERSPACE are once again front and centre for all the action! Taking place August 28-31 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto, Space dives deep into the genre trenches hosting the biggest celebrity panels, exclusive autograph sessions, and the hottest giveaways. Hosted by INNERSPACE’s Ajay Fry, Morgan Hoffman, and Teddy Wilson, fans can expect Q&As with the casts of Space original series BITTEN and KILLJOYS, as well as hot new zombie drama, Z NATION, featuring series lead Tom Everett Scott, and writer and co-executive producer Craig Engler. For those unable to attend the massive genre convention, INNERSPACE delivers the highlights throughout the week beginning Sept. 2 at 6 p.m. ET, only on Space.

Coming off a ratings-high audience of 680,000 viewers tuning into INNERSPACE’s countdown to the DOCTOR WHO Season 8 premiere this past Saturday, INNERSPACE takes on FAN EXPO Canada™ as the Canadian authority on all things genre. Kicking off Friday, Aug. 29 at 3:30 p.m. ET, convention attendees are given a taste of the upcoming zombie drama Z NATION, featuring series lead Tom Everett Scott, and writer and co-executive producer Craig Engler. On Saturday, Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. ET, Space offers an exclusive first look at its newest original series KILLJOYS featuring a Q&A with series stars Aaron Ashmore, Hannah John-Kamen, and Luke Macfarlane. Finally, on Sunday, Aug. 31 at 11 a.m. ET, the Wolf Pack is back at FAN EXPO Canada™ as the cast of Space’s smash-hit original series BITTEN chat about what to expect in Season 2 with series leads Laura Vandervoort, Greg Bryk, Greyston Holt, Steve Lund, and Michael Xavier. The panel also introduces new cast members Tammy Isbell and Tommie-Amber Pirie, who will portray the much-anticipated coven of witches.

In addition to BITTEN, KILLJOYS, and Z NATION, INNERSPACE has been tapped to host one of the most highly-anticipated panels, “The Cast of Doctor Who Special Presentation,” featuring a Q&A with the Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, and his companions Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill. INNERSPACE also helms Q&As with Stephen Amell from CTV’s ARROW, legendary actor Richard Dreyfuss, VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Ian Somerhalder, Lord Of The Rings star Elijah Wood, and fan-favourite Nathan Fillion from CTV’s CASTLE.
