  Based on Lev Grossman's bestselling novels, SYFY's The Magicians centers on Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) and his 20-something friends as they are thrust into the unfamiliar world of the beautifully enchanting yet mysteriously dangerous Fillory — and places beyond — where they must draw upon their novice skills to save the existence of magic. The series, produced by Universal Cable Productions, stars Ralph, Stella Maeve, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Hale Appleman, Arjun Gupta, Summer Bishil, Rick Worthy and Jade Tailor. The Magicians is executive produced by John McNamara, Sera Gamble, Henry Alonso Myers, Chris Fisher and Groundswell Productions' Michael London and Janice Williams.

  

• Animaniacs LIVE!, featuring guests Rob Paulsen, Maurice LaMarche and Randy Rogel, moderated by Chris Hardwick.

  Animaniacs LIVE! is a musical revue starring original cast members Rob Paulsen (Yakko, and Pinky from Pinky and the Brain) and Maurice LaMarche (Brain from Pinky and The Brain), accompanied by Emmy winning composer Randy Rogel, who wrote and created many of those memorable songs you STILL can't remove from your brain pan.

  Featuring songs from the run of the show, Animaniacs LIVE! is based on the beloved WB cartoon Animaniacs, which delighted television audiences from 1992 to 1998. Cartoon clips will be shown alongside the talent. In addition to the concert, Rob, Maurice and Randy share behind the scenes secrets about the making of the series! Whether you're a lover of music, animation, or fun, experience Animaniacs like never before in Animaniacs LIVE!

  

• Portlandia, featuring guests Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, moderated by Chris Hardwick.

  IFC's Emmy-nominated comedy Portlandia is currently in production for its eighth and final season. Created by Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein and Jonathan Krisel, Portlandia explores the eccentric misfits who embody the foibles of modern culture, starring Armisen and Brownstein. The series is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and produced by Broadway Video.

  

• Mystery Science Theater 3000, featuring guests Jonah Ray, Hampton Yount, and Rebecca Hanson, moderated by Wil Wheaton.

  For almost 30 years, the award-winning comedy television series Mystery Science Theater 3000, created by Joel Hodgson, has been known as one of the best cult TV shows of all time. Following its record-breaking #BringBackMST3K Kickstarter campaign, fourteen brand-new episodes of the cult television show Mystery Science Theater 3000 launched on April 14, 2017, exclusively on Netflix. In the new season of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (aka MST3K) Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day) and her loyal henchman, Max (Patton Oswalt), have revived the infamous experiment started by Kinga's father twenty-nine years earlier: How many cheesy movies does it take to drive a person mad? In this latest reiteration of the show, her test subject is Jonah Heston (Jonah Ray), a space pilot for Gizmonic Institute who gets trapped responding to a distress call from the dark side of the moon. Confined aboard the Satellite of Love, Jonah lives with his robot friends, Gypsy (voiced by Rebecca Hanson), Tom Servo (voiced by Baron Vaughn), and Crow T. Robot (voiced by Hampton Yount). Confronted with Kinga's choices in torturous films, Jonah and the bots band together to ward off lunacy by continuously riffing on the movies in rapid-fire succession.

  

• Harmontown, featuring guests Dan Harmon, Jeff B. Davis, and Spencer Crittenden.

  Dan Harmon (Community, Rick & Morty), alongside "comptroller" Jeff B. Davis (Whose Line Is It Anyway), and game master Spencer Crittenden (HarmonQuest), will bring his wildly popular podcast Harmontown to the festival — LIVE. Expect ineffectual rants, raps, shameful stories and special guests. Dan Harmon is the Emmy® winning creator/executive producer of the comedy series Community as well as the co-creator/executive producer of Adult Swim's Rick & Morty.

  

• Stan Against Evil, featuring guests John C. McGinley, Janet Varney, and Dana Gould, moderated by Jessica Chobot.

  IFC's original horror comedy series Stan Against Evil is currently in production for its second season. Created, written and executive produced by Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation), Stan Against Evil stars John C. McGinley (Scrubs) and Janet Varney (You're the Worst). Stan Against Evil follows Stan Miller (McGinley), a perpetually disgruntled former sheriff of a small New England town who was forced into retirement. Stan has trouble relinquishing his authority to Evie Barret (Varney), the tough and beautiful new sheriff in town, but they form an unlikely alliance when both begin to realize things are not quite right in their quaint New England town. Together, they valiantly fight a plague of unleashed demons that have been haunting the town, which just happens to be built on the site of a massive 17th century witch burning.

  

ID10T has also announced some exciting Toyota fan engagement experiences coming to the festival grounds, sure to appeal to the whole family. Kids 10 and under are free with accompanying paid adult admission. With panels from 12:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., comedy from 4:30 p.m to 8:00 p.m., and music from 4:00 p.m to 11:00 p.m., attendees can expect a full day packed with entertainment, all in an outdoor setting.

Toyota, ID10T's exclusive automotive partner, will create a unique experience that harnesses the fresh spirit of multicultural mischief makers, while immersing attendees in the key design elements of the Toyota C-HR. Inspired by the new C-HR campaign in which modern day fairytales are brought to life, the Toyota experience will feature a Cinderella-themed infinity photo booth and guests will view a Gingerbread Man-inspired car chase through a moving grid of urban skyscapes and infinite light beams. With the interactive beatbox, the C-HR interior will be converted into a larger than life beatbox where guests will get inside to create their own personalized instrument and show. At the live caricature station, a pop culture illustrator will transform guests into a comic book character, creating a commemorative poster complete with the festival logo. Lastly, guests' photos will be transformed into a comic book strip after choosing villain or superhero along with their special power, which will be merged with custom art for a keepsake. Stylish, athletic and filled with technology, the first-ever 2018 Toyota C-HR — or, Coupe High-Rider — serves as a springboard of excitement, mischief and wanderlust for its trendsetting drivers, getting them on to their next big thrill.
