Deadly Class, the new Syfy series following life at a school for teenage assassins, dropped a ton of information on crowds at a New York Comic Con panel. According to Deadline, the folks behind the series shared casting info, the release date, and a new teaser trailer. 

The teaser for the '80s-set show run through with a punk rock ethos subverts the statements of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Over images of the first couple's famous "Just Say No" PSA, we're given a glimpse of the school and its eccentricities. The school of assassins is awash with mohawks and make-up, while we hear the doubts of a recently added student who worries that he's made a mistake by joining the school. The upcoming series is based off the comic book series of the same name.

Beyond the trailer, the show also shared a few additions to its cast: 3rd Rock From The Sun's French Stewart and comedian Brian Posehn, as a psychology teacher and a metalhead, respectively.

While the panel ended with a surprise screening of the series' first episode, those not in attendance will have to wait until Jan. 16 when the show premieres on Syfy.
