It follows Saturday’s event packed to the rafters with industry and guild voters hearing from the likes of Jodie Foster, Lily Gladstone, Kurt Russell, Tom Hiddleston, Jeff Probst, Kelsey Grammer, Tony Shalhoub and more discussing their buzzy shows.
Overall for the weekend, Apple TV+ is bringing a whopping seven shows: Masters of the Air, Lessons in Chemistry, The Morning Show, Silo, Palm Royale, The New Look, Loot, and in co-production with Legendary, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Prime Video has four with Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Fallout, Expats and Red, White & Royal Blue, and Showtime is bringing three with Fellow Travelers, The Curse and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. We’ll also have gems from Paramount+, CBS Studios, Hulu, Netflix, National Geographic, NBCUniversal, Sony Pictures Television, Lifetime, Masterpiece on PBS, AMC/AMC+, ABC, Marvel Studios/Disney+, Warner Bros Television and FX.
As you’ve come to expect, our stage will once again be packed with stars, including Rebecca Ferguson, Common and Tim Robbins (Silo), Kristen Wiig and Josh Lucas (Palm Royale), Sutherland (The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial), Maya Erskine (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino (Loki), Brie Larson, Lewis Pullman and Aja Naomi King (Lessons in Chemistry) and Gladstone (Under the Bridge). It’s a veritable who’s-who of household names here.
How about Pullman (Murdaugh Murders: The Movie), Andrea Riseborough (Alice & Jack), David Oyelowo (Lawmen: Bass Reeves), Theo James and Kaya Scodelario (The Gentlemen) and Giancarlo Esposito (Parish)? And if you’re a fan of iconic TV stars, you can dig into Frasier with Grammer and hear Shalhoub chat all things Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie.
From the other side of the camera, we have plenty of creators and showrunners too. Like Lee Eisenberg (Lessons in Chemistry), Graham Yost (Silo), Abe Sylvia (Palm Royale), Samir Mehta (Under the Bridge), Charlotte Stoudt (The Morning Show), Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay (Bookie), Lulu Wang (Expats) and Quinn Shephard (Under the Bridge).
