So much has changed since we first shared programming news for Season 9 of the ATX Television Festival. Although we won’t be able to celebrate in person this year, the ATX team has assembled an impressive virtual festival!
ATX TV… from the Couch! takes place June 5-7, featuring conversations about current TV faves, cast reunions, industry panels and more.
Here are some of this year’s highlights:
- Scrubs reunion with creator Bill Lawrence, and cast members Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes.

- A conversation with NBC’s New Amsterdam about using fiction to navigate important conversations about health and healthcare access in underserved communities, and how recent storylines around heart health and rural & urban hospital care are particularly relevant in the time of COVID-19. Featuring director/executive producer Peter Horton, writer/executive producer David Foster, writer/consulting producer Erika Green Swafford, and stars Ryan Eggold and Jocko Sims.
- A panel with The CW’s Nancy Drew celebrating the 90th anniversary of the literary icon. Featuring creator/executive producer Noga Landau, showrunner/executive producer Melinda Hsu Taylor, and stars Kennedy McCann and Scott Wolf.
