If there’s one thing about The Paley Center for Media, they don’t do anything halfway—and PaleyFest LA 2026 is shaping up to be another one of those “you had to be there” moments.
The festival—going down April 4 through April 12 at the iconic Dolby Theatre—just added even more star power to an already stacked lineup. And honestly? This latest announcement might’ve just pushed it over the top.
Harrison Ford Headlines a Major Moment
Yes, that Harrison Ford.
The Emmy and Academy Award-nominated legend is officially joining the cast of Shrinking for their PaleyFest panel on April 7. He’ll be appearing alongside co-creator and star Jason Segel and a lineup that’s been carrying one of the most heartfelt comedies on TV right now.
That alone would be enough to get fans in the building—but they didn’t stop there.
Scrubs Reunion? Say Less.
Now this is where things get personal for TV fans.
The cast of Scrubs is getting a full-on reunion moment on April 11, and it’s bringing back some of the show’s most beloved names:
- Judy Reyes
- John C. McGinley
- Neil Flynn
- Christa Miller
And if you know Scrubs, you already know this panel is about to be equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and unexpectedly emotional.
Moderators Bringing Their Own Star Power
What I love about PaleyFest is that the conversations actually matter—and that’s because they bring in people who know how to guide them.
This year’s moderator lineup includes:
- Vanessa Bayer
- Yvette Nicole Brown
- George Pennacchio
- Jessica Radloff
- Joanna Robinson
- Janine Rubenstein
That’s a group that knows how to pull stories out of talent—not just ask surface-level questions.
The Full Lineup Is Actually Wild
And if you thought those additions were the whole story… not even close.
This year’s PaleyFest lineup also includes:
- Pluribus (April 4)
- Charlie’s Angels 50th Anniversary (April 6)
- Shrinking (April 7)
- Nobody Wants This (April 8)
- Emily in Paris (April 10)
- Scrubs (April 11)
- Your Friends & Neighbors (April 11)
- The Pitt (April 12)
From legacy television to current hits, this is one of those lineups that really reflects where TV has been and where it’s headed.
If you’re anywhere near LA—or you’ve been looking for a reason to make that trip—this might be it.
There are limited tickets still floating around, and if past PaleyFest events are any indication, these conversations are where you get the stories you won’t hear anywhere else.
And something tells me… this year is going to be one of the good ones.
