The casts of the ABC drama series Revenge (2011-2015) and My So-Called Life (2004-2005) will reunite at Televerse, the TV Academy‘s celebration of all things television, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. This year’s Televerse will take place Aug. 14-16 at the JW Marriott at L.A. Live.
Revenge stars Emily VanCamp, Josh Bowman, Ashley Madekwe, Gabriel Mann, Nick Wechsler, Christa B. Allen and Connor Paolo will all appear on a panel to mark the 15th anniversary of the debut of their hit show, a modern reimagining of The Count of Monte Cristo set in the Hamptons.
The panel about My So-Called Life, a short-lived but highly-influential show about the inner life of a 15-year-old in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, is currently set to include stars Bess Armstrong, Wilson Cruz, Devon Gummersall, A.J. Langer and Devon Odessa, as well as co-executive producer/director Scott Winant.
There will also be two subject-specific panels, “Creating the Sound of a Show,” which will focus on composing and songwriting across genres, and “Bump in the Night: A Conversation with Horror Showrunners,” about horror hits of the past and present.
Confirmed panelists for the former include Rachel Bloom (co-creator/co-showrunner/writer/actor, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), Kris Bowers (composer, Spider-Noir, Bridgerton and When They See Us), Sherri Chung (composer, Based on a True Story, Found and Riverdale) and David Fleming (composer, Widow’s Bay, The Last of Us and Mr. & Mrs. Smith).
For the latter, panelists will include Haley Z. Boston (creator/showrunner/executive producer, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen), Chris Cantwell (co-showrunner/executive producer, The Terror: Devil in Silver) and Victor LaValle (co-showrunner/executive producer, The Terror: Devil in Silver).
Previously announced programming for this year’s Televerse includes a 25th anniversary reunion of talent from Band of Brothers; an acting class led by TV legend Henry Winkler; a panel entitled “Star Trek and the Evolution of VFX and Virtual Production”; and a talk entitled “Scene by Scene” led by Emmy-winning director/producer Paris Barclay.
Further programming will be announced ahead of the fest.
