This year it is taking place September 8-13 in Beverly Hills (465 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210). For those of you that don’t know what PaleyFest is, it’s a week long festival that features premiere screenings and panel conversations with stars from upcoming Fall TV shows. Past events have featured hit shows including Black-ish, Jane the Virgin, Scandal, and Arrow. The Paley Center in New York will host a free PaleyFest screening September 10-11. HULU will also air clips and full length discussions sometime in September.
PaleyFest features sneak peeks into upcoming fall shows from ABC, CBS, The CW, El Rey, FOX, and NBC. The line up for this year’s PaleyFest offers peeks into new shows like Notorious, Pitch, No Tomorrow, and Frequency. Some panelists featured are Mandy Moore, Damon Wayans, Sr., and Dermot Mulroney. I’m very excited for to see Frequency. It’s about a detective that discovers she can speak to her deceased father through a ham radio, so they solve murder cases together and struggle with the butterfly effect. Frequency is set to air October 5 on The CW. I’m also interested in upcoming FOX show Pitch. It’s about a young female pitcher becoming the first woman to play in Major League Baseball for the San Diego Padres. As a softball pitcher I am interested in seeing how everything plays out in the new show. It will air September 22.
