Come Check Out PaleyFest LA

Are you a fan of Cobra Kai? How about Superman & Lois? This is Us? Maybe Better Call Saul? If you said “yes” to any of those, and you live in the LA area, there’s a really fun event you need to checkout! PaleyFest LA!

For those who don’t know, The Paley Center for Media is an American cultural institution in New York and Los Angeles, dedicated to the discussion of the cultural, creative, and social significance of television and entertainment. Prior to the pandemic, The Paley Center would put on two epic weeks of in-person panels at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, with discussions with series stars, and sneak preview screenings of upcoming scenes or episodes, called PaleyFest! Well now that COVID numbers are going down, PaleyFest is returning for the first time in two years!

Check out the full line up below!
