Reidy, the Paley Center's President & CEO. "We're grateful for the continued support of our friends at Citi, and welcome Verizon as an official sponsor."

"It is an absolute honor to be chosen by Paley Fest NY as part of this year's incredible Opening Night lineup. I know how much the festival means to the fans, and it's so thrilling to debut The Undoing at this one-of-a-kind event. We are deeply proud of our show, and on behalf of myself, Nicole Kidman, David E. Kelley, Hugh Grant, and our entire cast and crew, we want to thank everyone for celebrating this launch with us," said Susanne Bier, Executive Producer and Director, The Undoing.

"PaleyFest is my favorite press event of the year. And this year because it's on Zoom, I get to do it in shorts and a dress shirt. I'm gonna look like a first grader on picture day," DJ Nash, Creator and Executive Producer, A Million Little Things.

"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," Eli Roth, Eli Roth's History of Horror.

"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!" Robert Singer, Executive Producer and Co-Showrunner, Supernatural.

"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," Eric Kripke, Showrunner and Executive Producer of The Boys.

PaleyFest NY supports the Paley Center's many education initiatives including Paley Education@Home Presented by Citi, serving educators, students and parents around the country as teaching and learning continues at home and at school. It also benefits the PaleyIMPACT series featuring programs centered around today's most pressing social issues and the role of media in our society, and the continued preservation of the Paley Archive, featuring 160,000 historically significant television and radio programs.
