"We are delighted and honored to be returning to PaleyFest as this season has marked an exciting new chapter for The Walking Dead. We can't wait to be surrounded by our passionate fans to discuss the themes and threats our survivors have been facing in the new world they inhabit," said Angela Kang, showrunner & executive producer of The Walking Dead, in a press release.

Star Trek: Discovery announced its participation in the event earlier today, teasing that "Starfleet is embarking on a new adventure." The announcement came at about the same time that a spinoff series starring Philippa Georgiou was announced. Perhaps more details will be revealed during the PaleyFest panel.

"We're thrilled to announce this incredible lineup of programs," said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center's President & CEO, in a press release. "We're so proud that our lineup reflects the diversity of the television viewing experience—from history-making programs highlighting the LGBTQ+ community, to Emmy Award-winning comedies and dramas with strong female characters, action-packed adventure series, and a conversation with one of the sharpest voices on late-night TV. This year's selections epitomize why PaleyFest LA is the premier television festival."
