Justina Machado is counting the day(s) until this year’s virtual PaleyFest LA.

The Paley Center for Media has announced plans to take its PaleyFest LA event online for the first time ever due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the 47-year-old Puerto Rican actress and her One Day at a Time colleagues set to appear.

In addition to Machado, the 2020 edition of the event – taking place in August – the guest lineup for the 10 participating series includes Cate Blanchett, Justin Bieber and Dolly Parton, with moderators including Stacey Abrams and Martha Raddatz.

The event was originally scheduled to take place in mid-March at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The festival will be available for viewing by Citi cardmembers and Paley members beginning August 7, with panels available to the public on August 10. All will be hosted on the Paley Center’s YouTube channel. Citi is an official sponsor of the event.

The lineup featured changes from the one originally unveiled in January.

In addition to Machado’s One Day at a Time, the remaining participating series are Netflix’s Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings and Ozark, Starz’s Outlander and Schitt’s Creek.

They are joined by YouTube’s Justin Bieber: Seasons, NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, Amazon Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, FX on Hulu’s Mrs. America and Netflix’s Queer Eye.

The Schitt’s Creek panel reflecting on the comedy’s sixth and final season will be available exclusively for Citi cardmembers and Paley Center members.

“PaleyFest LA has been the premier television festival in the country for more than 35 years, and, we’re so pleased to bring this best-in-class festival to millions of fans virtually for the first time through our Paley YouTube channel,” said Maureen J. Reidy, the Paley Center’s president and CEO. “We look forward to presenting this incredible lineup of programs featuring the shows that make us laugh, take us into a world of mystery, comfort us, and shine a light on pressing social issues. We’re thrilled to welcome back Citi as the official card of PaleyFest and we couldn’t ask for a better partner.”
