NBC's Will&Grace's Cast and Creators to Reunite for Exclusive Celebration and Talk
NEW YORK, NY- August 16, 2017-With an overwhelming amount of TV programming currently available to viewers, the Tribeca TV Festival will be a trusted curator to help audiences connect with the most compelling episodic storytelling in the new age of TV-presenting work premiering on TV, online, as well as VR. Like its cousin in April, the Festival will highlight highly-anticipated new premieres, and also draw attention to under-the-radar work and talent. It will give audiences the opportunity to experience tomorrow's watercooler moments before they start to trend, and for the fan community to come together to celebrate their love for TV.
Ten years ago we wouldnt have needed a TV festival. Now, with the change in the TV landscape, both the quality and quantity of shows, it makes sense, said Robert De Niro, Co-Founder of Tribeca. As the Tribeca Film Festival has done, the Tribeca TV Festival will act as a curator in bringing people together for this emerging experience.
Tribeca TV Festival will bring the small screen (and the even smaller screen) to the big screen, offering TV fans a communal, curated experience where they can get an advance look at brand new series and fan-favorite shows and hear from creators. Programming 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 ahead of the highly anticipated reboot this fall; a sneak peek of an upcoming episode of the FX show BetterThings, followed by a conversation with Emmy winner Pamela Adlon speaking with show co-creator Louis C.K.; the series premiere of the upcoming truTV show AtHomewithAmySedaris, followed by a conversation with co-creator Amy Sedaris, the series premiere of ABC's Ten Days in the Valley, followed by a conversation with star/EP Kyra Sedgwick, and more.
Television programming has been a part of the Tribeca Film Festival since it screened the series finale of the hit show Friendsin 2004 at the Tribeca Drive-In . In 2016, Tribeca launched an official section of the festival dedicated to TV programming, which has featured world premieres of new series and seasons of anticipated shows and special events, including the world premieres of Emmy -nominated programs TheNightOf and TheHandmaid'sTale. Television - along with VR, gaming, and online work - has become a key pillar of the Festival as part of Tribeca's commitment to showcasing the best stories across any screen.
Tribeca has proven itself to be the ideal home for showcasing excellence in storytelling, no matter the medium, said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder and Executive Chair of Tribeca. The expansion into television is a natural progression in this evolving entertainment landscape.
Some of the best stories are being told on television, said Paula Weinstein, Executive Vice President of Tribeca Enterprises. The programming team has developed a slate of fan favorites and discoveries to bring these stories to the Tribeca audience.
Advance selection presale tickets for Citi Private Pass members go on sale Tuesday, August 22nd (11 am EST) and for general public on Friday, August 25th (11 am EST). All Citi Private Pass presale tickets and general public tickets can be purchased online at tribecafilm.com/tvfestival. For additional information on ticket sales, email boxoffice@tribecafilm.com.
The programming slate for the Tribeca TV Festival is as follows:
At Home with Amy Sedaris (truTV) - Series Premiere - World Premiere
Strangers with Candy, BoJack Horseman, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Amy Sedaris is one of the great comic performers of our day. But did you know she is also a superlative homemaker and entertainer of guests? In this comedy series, a long-gestating passion project for its star, Amy will show off her diverse but necessary homemaking skills, which range from creating popsicle stick buddies and gutting a fish, to making raisin necklaces and entertaining businessmen.
After the world premiere of their new series, Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello will joined by moderator Andy Cohen to discuss the creation of this truly one-of-a-kind project, how they've partnered together through the years and how Amy maintains her unique vision across mediums of film, TV, print, publishing, and live performance.
Event time: September 22 at 8:15pm
Better Things (FX) - Special Sneak Peek
Emmy winner and New York City native Pamela Adlon is the creative mind behind breakout hit Better Things, in which she also stars as working actor and single mom-of-three Sam. Consistently hilarious, but always grounded, Better Things is a truly refreshing take on the tried-and-true family sitcom, with Adlon's signature all over it (in addition to writing and starring duties, Adlon also directs every episode). In the midst of launching Season 2, and in the wake of her Best Actress Emmy nomination, Adlon will be joined by her co-creator Louis C.K. for an only-at-Tribeca conversation about her funny, bawdy, bittersweet brainchild, including the world premiere of Better Things' upcoming episode Robin.
Event time: September 22 at 6pm
