ATX Television Festival Sets ‘The League’ Reunion; Adds ‘Veronica Mars’ And ‘City On A Hill’ Guests
EXCLUSIVE: The eighth season of the ATX Television Festival continues to add to its extensive slate of programming with a reunion of the FX comedy The League. The fest, which takes place in Austin June 6-9, also announced guests for the previously announced panel for Hulu’s Veronica Mars as well as the closing night screening for City on a Hill.
The League’s creators/directors/executive producers Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer, as well as stars Paul Scheer, Nick Kroll, Stephen Rannazzisi and Jason Mantzoukas, are set to reunite at ATX for some fun conversation about the FX semi-improvised comedy about a group of old friends and their competitive fantasy football. The FX series ran for seven season and 2019 marks ten years since the series premiere.
