The Star Trek: Discovery gang is heading back to PaleyFest in 2019, this time for the Los Angeles event on March 24 — the show’s first return visit since their New York panel in 2017.
We were at the October 2017 PaleyFest event in New York City, where the cast and production team presented an hourlong panel of discussion on the series to an intimate audience, and this spring the event’s West Coast counterpart will feature the Discovery team in late March, near the end of the show’s second season.
