FX to Transport Fans Into Immersive Show Worlds Between Day and Night at San Diego Comic-Con 2023

Attendees will delight in four large scale experiential activations inspired by highly-anticipated new limited series Shōgun, and A Murder at the End of the World, and critically-acclaimed, fan-favorites American Horror Story and What We Do in the Shadows

LOS ANGELES – July 17, 2023 – FX announced today that, after a successful event last year, it will return to San Diego Comic-Con with a massive outdoor takeover plunging fans deeper into the realities of their most anticipated new releases and fan favorites, creating a transformative experience from day to night, over two evenings, that attendees will not want to miss.

Over four days and two nights between Thursday, July 20 – Sunday, July 23, the lawn at The Hilton Bayfront Park will be converted into an FX playground filled with intrigue, mystery and drama, where new and returning beloved IPs will come alive. Guests will travel throughout Shōgun’s historic Edo period Japan and encounter a dark murder mystery in A Murder at the End of the World, check into an AHS-inspired wellness clinic, and transform every day into SUN-day funday with What We Do in the Shadows. Each activation promises to deliver the daytime experience that fans know and love, along with an immersive night experience including exciting lighting design and a handful of surprise and delights making for unique photo ops.

The four #FXSDCC large scale immersive installations include:

• Shōgun
  Enter the world of Shōgun with multiple immersive touchpoints including an augmented reality koi pond, live Samurai battles, and an early look at what the world of the new series has to offer.
• A Murder at the End of the World – Prepare for Launch
  Are you ready to join us at the end of the world? Fans are invited to board a reclusive billionaire’s private plane for a chilling retreat. Fans may experience a dark murder mystery unfold and unlock exclusive content along the way.
• AHS – Wicked Wellness
  Fans are invited for an evaluation, AHS-style, at the AHS Wicked Wellness San Diego. Harmony and horror intersect at this custom experience offering delectable wellness shots and a one-on-one consultation with an unorthodox healer.
• What We Do in the Shadows – A Familiar Weekend
  Lounge in Laszlo’s garden this summer as the vampires’ Staten Island mansion’s yard is transformed for a weekend of fun…in the shade. To keep cool and safe from the sun, this photo-worthy activation offers custom popsicles and sunscreen for fans. What We Do in the Shadows currently airs Thursdays at 10pm PT/ET on FX and streams next day on Hulu.

“San Diego Comic-Con brings together some of the world’s biggest fans with unparalleled enthusiasm for these characters and their worlds,” said Kenya Hardaway, Senior Vice President, Integrated Promotions-Multi-Platform Marketing at FX Networks. “We’re excited to return and give them even more to immerse themselves in with two nights of #FXSDCC’s unforgettable, transformative experience – Night FX.”
