‘Supernatural,’ ‘Girlfriends,’ ‘The Boys’ Among PaleyFest NY Lineup

The final season of the CW’s “Supernatural,” a special 20th anniversary panel for “Girlfriends,” Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys,” HBO’s “The Undoing” and Adult Swim’s “Rick & Morty” will be taking part in the 8th Annual PaleyFest NY event, the Paley Center for Media announced Tuesday.

These series, among others, will be featured on the Paley channel on Verizon Media’s Yahoo Entertainment. Some panels will be released on Friday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, with additional ones coming the following Monday and Tuesday at the same time. However, since Citi returns as a partner, Citi cardmembers will be able to view the programs ahead of the general public, starting today at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT. Paley Center members can also begin viewing the panels today.

“It’s been an honor to be included in PaleyFests in the past, and certainly this year is no exception. I think your support over the years has certainly helped us reach this 15 season milestone and we are eternally grateful. Thank you!” said Robert Singer, executive producer, “Supernatural.”

Added Eric Kripke, who created “Supernatural” as well as “The Boys”: “There’s only one thing that can provide hope in these dark and troubling times: watching writers and actors talk about themselves. Seriously though, we really love making this show, and hope you check out the panel for behind-the-scenes stories and secrets. Thanks to the brilliant and talented Melissa Fumero for risking her career by moderating. It’s an honor to be invited to PaleyFest NY, and we look forward to making them regret it.”

PaleyFest NY supports Paley Center’s education initiatives, including Paley Education@Home Presented by Citi, which serves educators, students and parents around the country at teaching and learning continues at home and at school. The event also benefits the PaleyIMPACT series, which features programs centered on today’s most pressing social issues, the role of media in our society and the continued preservation of the Paley Archive.

“Eli Roth’s History of Horror” (AMC) – Executive producer and host Roth sits down with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, who is also a subject in the show. “There’s no genre I love like horror and no one I love talking about movies with more than Quentin. We could have easily talked for ten hours, which is about normal for us when we get on a roll. I was so honored to have him join me for the series, no one else on the planet has his insight and knowledge of film and he always makes it fun and accessible to everyone. It was a great, great talk I think everyone watching will enjoy,” Roth said.
