PaleyFest sets full lineup for in-person 2022 return: Cobra Kai, Riverdale, and more

The Paley Center for Media's annual television festival is pulling out all the stops this April when it returns in person for the first time in three years.

The 39th Annual PaleyFest LA announced its full lineup Tuesday, which will feature special screenings and Q&As with the casts and creative teams of series as seasoned as CBS' NCIS and as new as HBO Max's Hacks. The gathering is slated to take place April 2-10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles following two years of virtual programming due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year's programming includes This Is Us, Superman & Lois, Black-ish​, Ghosts, The Neighborhood, Hacks, Cobra Kai, Riverdale, Better Call Saul, Emily in Paris, and three flavors of NCIS (the original plus NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: Hawai'i).
