In addition, Atx Television Festival is working with AMC Networks, CBS Television Studios, FX Networks, Disney Plus, HBO, HBO Max and Peacock to include some of their programming in the event, and they expect to announce those specifics in the coming weeks.
Dubbed “Atx TV… from the Couch,” the programming events will still consist of screenings, as well as cast and creative team member panels of both new and reunited shows.
