Tribeca Enterprises, the company behind the much beloved Tribeca Film Festival, is finally spinning off into the smaller screen: they are launching the Tribeca TV Festival at the end of September with the cast of the reunited Will and Grace, Amy Sedaris, Better Things, and more.
The new festival will take place September 22-24. Highlights include a special conversation with Will & Grace stars Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes, Megan Mullally and show creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan before the reboot this fall; a sneak peek of Better Things, followed by a conversation with star Pamela Adlon and co-creator Louis C.K.; the series premiere of At Home with Amy Sedaris, followed by a conversation with co-creator Amy Sedaris and Andy Cohen; and the series premiere of Ten Days in the Valley, followed by a conversation with star Kyra Sedgwick.
There are also panels for Red Oaks, Gotham, Queen Sugar, Designated Survivor, and more. You can check out the full lineup of events here. Tickets for the general public go on sale on Friday, August 25th at 11 a.m.; Citi card holders can get presale access to tickets starting Tuesday August 22nd through Thursday August 24th.
As the lines between television and film have become thinner and thinner, the Tribeca Film Festival has been dipping their toe in the TV waters more and more in recent years, premiering the likes of The Sinner and The Handmaid's Tale at this year's festivities, and other notable shows such as The Night Of and Mr. Robot in previous years.
