The Paley Center Moves Archive, Unveils 2020 Spring Lineup

The Paley Center is set to relocate the Paley Archive to its new home at the Beverly Hills Public Library and has revealed its 2020 spring schedule, which includes “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist: Screening & Conversation,” among a raft of others.

Often referred to as a national treasure, the Paley Archive is the world’s largest collection of publicly accessible television and radio programs, spanning 100 years and representing programs from over 70 countries. The archive will be moved beginning this spring.

The Paley Center has also revealed its lineup of PaleyLive and Paley Media Council programs as part of its 2020 spring calendar. Following a season launch earlier this month with a special program honoring Henry Winkler for his acclaimed body of work on television, the Paley Center’s public programs will continue throughout the spring with events featuring some of the most respected names in television and entertainment. The events will take place at locations in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, joining the Paley Center’s annual PaleyFest television festival, which will take place in Hollywood in March.

The upcoming 2020 PaleyLive LA programs include “A Million Little Things: Screening and Conversation” (February 25), featuring members of the cast, including David Guintoli (Eddie Saville), Allison Miller (Maggie Bloom) and Chandler Riggs (Patrick “PJ” Nelson); “An Evening in Little America” (April 6), a screening of an episode from the Apple TV+ series followed by a conversation with the creative team, including executive producer and showrunner Kumail Nanjiani; and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist: Screening & Conversation” (April 13), at which the series’ creative team, including Jane Levy, Mary Steenburgen and Peter Gallagher, will talk about the show.

“We couldn’t be more excited that Little America is being recognized by the Paley Center. We’re grateful to be telling these stories and have been blown away with the response from the audience,” said executive producers and showrunners Sian Heder and Lee Eisenberg.

“We truly couldn’t be more excited or more honored to have a panel at the Paley Center. We look forward to talking about the first season of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” said Austin Winsberg, the series’ creator and executive producer. “There might even be some singing. And dancing, too. We can’t control it. It’s just what happens when you get this group together in a room.”

Furthermore, “An Evening with Gina Rodriguez and Diary of a Future President“—which will see Rodriguez and members of the cast and creative team host a screening and conversation about the inspirations for, and creative process behind, the series—will take place May 1. “A Conversation with Brian Robbins” (June 25) will see Robbins, president of kids’ and family entertainment for ViacomCBS, share how the network’s animation slate ladders up to an overall strategy, as well as what’s next for Nickelodeon.

Additionally, the Paley Center will once again return to the Dolby Theatre March 13 through 22 for PaleyFest LA. This year’s festival will open with the cast and creative team from ABC’s Modern Family, followed by Pop TV’s One Day at a Time, Netflix’s A Special Evening with Dolly Parton and Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, CBS’s NCIS: 400th Episode Celebration, Amazon Prime Video’s The Boys, CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard, Starz’s Outlander, HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, Netflix’s Dead to Me and Ozark, Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek, and the festival will close with Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
