## Key points

- Televerse will skip 2027 and return in early 2028.
- The new timing shifts it to the start of Emmy campaigning.
- The Academy has a busy 2027, including a broadcaster move and merger.

## Summary

The Television Academy has cancelled Televerse for 2027 and plans to bring the festival back in the first quarter of 2028. Moving it earlier would place it at the start of Emmy campaigning, rather than during Phase 2 voting, and follows feedback from attendees and industry partners.

The event began in 2025 as a festival for television fans and industry, combining show panels and reunions with Emmy campaign events. Its first edition drew more than 2,500 people, about three-quarters of them Academy members; the 2026 festival ran from 14 to 16 August in Los Angeles. The Academy also faces a busy 2027, with the Emmy broadcast moving to Prime Video and a merger with its New York counterpart to complete.
