New York, NY, April 17, 2025 - The 2025 Tribeca Festival, presented by OKX, today announced its lineup of television and original independent episodic series. The Festival, which takes place June 4 - 15 in New York City, showcases highly-anticipated world premieres of new and returning programs, along with exclusive panels featuring select cast members, from major networks and streamers including Apple TV , HBO, Prime Video, Paramount , and more.
Television is one of the most powerful storytelling mediums of our time, and Tribeca is proud to be a home for the visionaries who are redefining it, said Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano. Tribeca TV is a cornerstone of our festival-an essential platform where innovation, artistry, and audience converge. As the lines between film and television continue to blur, our commitment to championing exceptional stories in all forms remains steadfast.
World premieres include Apple TV 's Smoke, a suspenseful drama starring Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett, which follows a small-town fire chief as he uncovers dark secrets, blending mystery, family, and crime; Prime Video's We Were Liars, a fiery psychological thriller series based on the #1 New York Times bestselling novel by E. Lockhart; SundanceTV's new docuseries The Furry Detectives: Unmasking A Monster, executive produced by Theo Love, which uncovers a chilling conspiracy beneath the whimsical world of the Furry community; and BritBox's high-society saga Outrageous, executive produced by Matthew Mosley and created by Sarah Williams, which follows the scandalous lives of the Mitford sisters as they navigate political extremism, familial discord, and heartbreak.
The Festival's TV program also celebrates the return of three fan-favorite series, including the world premiere of season three of HBO's Emmy-nominated period drama The Gilded Age, starring Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector and Cynthia Nixon, which marks the show's first-ever premiere event for the series. Also featured is the season three premiere of Paramount 's genre-bending hit Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, starring Ethan Peck, Anson Mount, and Rebecca Romijn and the gripping season finale of MGM 'S historical drama, Godfather of Harlem featuring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker.
TV-lovers choices often seem overwhelmingly vast these days. We are excited to help our audience hone in on a selection of new series and returning favorites that they can experience at Tribeca in a truly exclusive way. From the luminous cast of The Gilded Age to the denizens of starship Enterprise (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), the TV section offers an exclusive, post-screening discussion before the rest of the world gets a chance to partake, said Tribeca Festival Senior Programmer Liza Domnitz. Our NOW program speaks to the rapidly expanding universe of independently made episodic series and the buy-in from the creative community.
This year's NOW section, dedicated to new independently created pilots and series, features stories from emerging and up-and-coming filmmakers about self-discovery, social insecurities and comedic tales of relationship woes. The program includes the light-hearted, NYC comedy Seasoned, starring Mandy Patinkin; the coming of age drama series Hal & Harper, starring Lili Reinhart, Betty Gilpin and Mark Ruffalo; Earth to Percy starring Jeremy Beiler, Amy Schumer, Josh Charles, Wyatt Cenac and Maya Rudolph; and the dark, brash comedy Bulldozer featuring Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen, Kate Burton and Oscar winner Nat Faxon. Featured docuseries within NOW include Mrs. America from storyteller Penny Lane and The Price of Milk from Nicholas Bruckman and Yoni Brook.
