TGIF Feature: Sneak peek of 'Deadly Class' starring Lana Condor

SYFY

Lana Condor as Sya Kuroki in 'Deadly Class.;

LANA CONDOR's first television series, 'Deadly Class' is set to officially kick off on Jan. 16 on the SyFy channel but you can get a sneak peek at the first episode.

Condor's role as Saya Kuroki, a katana-wielding badass, is about as far from Lara Jean Covey of To All The Boys I Ever Loved, tNetflix's romantic comedy that made her a teen favorite.

Set in 1986 San Francisco, Deadly Class is based on a dark comic novel. Although it's a Marvel product, it's not in the same universe as Marvel's other superheroes so don't expect Iron Man to pop up.

King's Dominion is the school where the world's killers send their kids (including th eCIA and FBI).The rest of the student body come from crime families. The big men on campus are from the drug cartels. Condor's character comes from a Yakuza crime family. I doubt the school has a marching band.

The official description reads:

Deadly Class follows Marcus, a disillusioned teen recruited into an elite private academy where the world’s top crime families send their successors. Maintaining his moral code while navigating a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties may prove fatal. Set against the backdrop of late 80s counter culture, Deadly Class is a coming of age story unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Based on the smash hit comic series of the same name by Rick Remender.

The show also stars Benedict Wong (Marco Polo, Dr. Strange) as head instructor in the deadly arts.

You can watch the first episode of Deadly Class here, or do a search on your DVR.

The concept sounds interesting. I'll give it a shot for a few episodes.
