Paley Fest 2022

By  | 

Unlike the last few years, this year’s Paley Fest is expected to be live and in-person. Of course, with COVID cases rising – yet again – it is more than possible that the Paley Center for Media – the organization that hosts the annual fete – very well may have to move the event back to virtual once again.

For now, the event will take place from April 2 through April 10 at the Dolby Theatre in the heart of Hollywood. And, the full line-up was officially announced this morning.

The panels for the 39th Annual Paley Fest are as follows:
