Even as the Paley Center vacates its Beverly Hills museum, the org is still planning a full slate of L.A.-based events in the first half of 2020. As Variety previously reported, the Paley Center will no longer have a physical location on the west coast, but instead will hold events at a variety of locations — including the Directors Guild of America and the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Following up on news that its digital archives will now be housed at the Beverly Hills Public Library, the Paley Center is set to announce several Los Angeles-area panels, screenings and discussions open to the public in he next few months. They include events related to series “A Million Little Things,” “Little America” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” as well as talks with Gina Rodriguez and Brian Robbins.
