For the first time in three years, the annual PaleyFest LA is set to return in-person and the lineup is stacked with the buzziest television talent of the last year.
From April 2 to 10, the biggest stars from the silver screen will descend upon the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles for 10 days of exclusive behind-the-scenes conversations, never-before-seen TV footage, interactive Q+As with festival attendees and screenings of special preview and premiere content.
"We are thrilled to announce the full lineup for the 39th Annual PaleyFest LA, the can’t-miss spring festival celebrating creative excellence in television," said Maureen J. Reidy, president and CEO of the Paley Center for Media.
