PaleyFest New York 2026 returns to the Paley Museum (25 W 52nd St) from October 8–14, bringing seven nights of TV screenings and cast conversations. This year the festival debuts the inaugural PaleyFest Award, created for the center’s 50th anniversary — recipients (including Billy Crystal, American Horror Story, and The Gilded Age) will see their work permanently added to the Paley Archive.
The full lineup:
- Oct 8, 7pm — American Horror Story: 13 screening + panel (Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, Lou Eyrich, and more)
- Oct 9, 6:30pm — Dexter: Resurrection screening + panel
- Oct 10, 6pm — Tulsa King screening + panel with Sylvester Stallone

- Oct 14, 6:30pm — The Diplomat screening + panel
Ticket pricing: $75 for Paley members, $100 general public. Presale for Paley Circle and Citi cardmembers starts today (Aug 11 at 10am). Members can buy Aug 13 at noon. General public on-sale is Friday, Aug 14 at noon — set a reminder, because these will move fast.
Whether you’re a TV die-hard looking for a deep-dive panel or just want to see Stallone, Crystal, or the Gilded Age cast up close, this is the best seven-day stretch for TV fans in NYC this fall.
