Written by John Edward Betancourt It wasn’t that long ago, that we sat down to discuss how wonderful it is when a big event we cannot wait to attend, releases its schedule. Simply because it is an important time for fans. Since this is when a weekend (or longer) can be planned to a tee and this is when the attendee takes ownership of the event, and it is also a fun and exciting time. In part, for those same reasons. Because who doesn’t like taking ownership of the event they’re attending? But also, because it’s just fun to put together the schedule and for attendees of Season 9 of SeriesFest… that wondrous day has come. For earlier, SeriesFest unveiled its Season 9 Programming lineup, and it is… epic. After all, NBC is swinging by to do a special screening of the stellar comedy series, Grand Crew. Not to mention, Paul Giamatti will be around to do a live taping of Chinwag, and we even get to see the upcoming Amazon Freevee series, Primos, early… amongst other wonders. The kind that you can pour over… right now. For SeriesFest was kind enough to send over the programing schedule for this year’s event, and without further ado… here it is! All so you can properly prepare for another incredible celebration of television. ‘SeriesFest, the award-winning international festival and non-profit organization dedicated to championing emerging and underserved voices in episodic storytelling, announced today the full lineup for SeriesFest: Season 9.
