Spotters will be spoilt for choice this week as a army of American television stars arrive in Sydney to spruik their shows.

The US writers strike has forced production giant Warner Bros to shift its annual press junket for the small screen's next big hits from Los Angeles - to Sydney.

Ten of the hottest new TV stars, along with journalists from around the world, are flying in for a frantic round of interviews.

Hollywood's loss is Channel Nine's gain, as the shows are all due to be shown on the network this year.

Dropping in will be Thomas Dekker and Summer Glau from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a small-screen sequel to the hit film Terminator 2.

Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies, Kathryn Morris from Cold Case, Zachary Levi from Chuck and Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl will also be attending.

Jason Lee, from My Name Is Earl, was spotted in Newcastle last week.

Yvonne Strahovski, the Aussie-born star of Chuck, is returning home to Sydney, and will visit her family in between her media commitments.
