'Deadly Class' Season 1: From 1980s pop culture to Lana Condor wielding a sword; here are 5 things to expect

Syfy's latest teen mob series is slated to debut on January 16. Here's the lowdown on what to expect from the comic-book-turned TV series action thriller
UPDATED JAN 15, 2019

It's the first month of 2019 and time to get back to school, only this time the curriculum includes mastering the art of killing.

King's Dominion in 'Deadly Class' is one such school, where Marco Lopez Arguello (Benjamin Wadsworth) gets enrolled after being accused of a murder that he did not commit. "The school trains killers to master the deadly arts," says the school's headmaster, Master Lin (Benedict Wong), as the trailer opens. "It's dedicated to the self-liberation of oppressed people... people like you," he tells Marcus, as he gears up for what's to come — it's everything that the school does not allow "no disobedience, no drugs, and no sex." 

While Marcus is in for the unexpected, so are we. Here are five things to know about the show before it premieres on January 16.
