The Television Academy has greenlighted a second season of its Televerse festival. The news isn’t quite a surprise, as TV Academy president/CEO Maury McIntyre told Variety last August that the org was already planning an encore, and examining how to improve on this year’s inaugural event.
One of those changes was to adjust the event to a Friday/Saturday/Sunday event, vs. the inaugural year’s Thursday/Friday/Saturday pattern. As a result, the second Televerse will take place from Friday, Aug. 14 to Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, once again at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles.
The first Televerse attracted more than 2,500 attendees — with approximately 75% consisting of TV Academy members, and the other 25% from the general public. The event centered on Phase 2 FYC panels from Emmy-nominated shows, the first time it had thrown sanctioned campaign events after the Emmy nominations. That included panels for shows like “The Pitt,” “Severance,” “The Studio,” “Abbott Elementary,” “Slow Horses” and “Top Chef,” among others. Other nominated shows that couldn’t front a panel were still given the option to screen an episode.
