Syfy Presents HAPPY! at San Diego Comic-Con

For the first time, Syfy and Universal Cable Productions presented their newest drama, HAPPY!, with star Christopher Meloni ("Law & Order: SVU"), executive producers Grant Morrison and Brian Taylor, and showrunner Patrick MacManus during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The panel kicked off with the very first sneak peek of the series.

Producers also announced that Patton Oswalt will voice the title role of the blue winged horse, "Happy." Moderated by Tim Leong (Entertainment Weekly), panelists delved into the stylized visuals of the show, how the adaptation came to life, and why the show depicts "The Worst Christmas Ever."

Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name, HAPPY! follows Nick Sax (Meloni) - an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man whose life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named "Happy." HAPPY! premieres this fall on SYFY.
