This year’s festival will open with the cast and creative team from ABC’s Modern Family, followed by Pop TV’s One Day at a Time, Netflix’s A Special Evening with Dolly Parton & Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, CBS’s NCIS: 400th Episode Celebration, Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys, CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard, Starz’s Outlander, HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, Netflix’s Dead to Me, Netflix’s Ozark, Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek, and the festival will close with Disney+’s The Mandalorian

“It’s an honor to be invited to PaleyFest and join other filmmakers and talent in celebrating great television programming. It is especially exciting to be representing our Disney+ series, The Mandalorian, at the closing night presentation,” said Jon Favreau, executive producer/creator, The Mandalorian.

“I keep telling my wife, my sh*t belongs in a museum. Well, who’s laughing now?? The brilliant cast and troubled producers of The Boys can’t wait to get together with their fans and say some inappropriate things. Seriously, it’s an amazing honor for a freshman show to be chosen by PaleyFest. We look forward to making them deeply regret it,” said The Boys executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke.

“We are honored to be included as part of PaleyFest LA. We love being able to speak directly to the Outlander fans and we look forward to taking this opportunity to thank them for their tremendous support over the years,” said Outlander executive producer Ronald D. Moore.
