A 2016 short form Emmy contender, Con Man centers on the post-show life of Wray Nerely (Alan Tudyk), the costar of “Spectrum,” a sci-fi TV series canceled before its time that later became a beloved cult classic. Wray’s best friend, Jack Moore (Nathan Fillion) starred as the series’ Captain and has gone on to become a major celebrity, while Wray continues to struggle to find his big break. Jack enjoys the life of an A-lister while Wray is the begrudging guest of sci-fi conventions, comic book store appearances, and different pop-culture events. The series explores these events and all the crazy (and real) things that happen behind the scenes in the world of fandom.
