Televerse, the TV Academy’s TV festival that kicked off last year, will skip the upcoming 2027 Emmys season as it plots a 2028 return slated for earlier in the year than its predecessors.

While the event has taken place during Phase 2 in the Emmys timeline, with this year’s festivities happening August 14-16, the program will shift to an earlier timeline when it returns in 2028 amid industry feedback.

“Following insightful feedback from attendees and our industry partners, the Television Academy is excited to announce Televerse will be returning in a new timeframe sometime in the first quarter of 2028, allowing a more expansive period to build on the popular festival’s maiden two years,” the statement read. “New dates and details will be announced as they become available. We look forward to continuing to celebrate Television outside the box in early 2028.”
