The event will feature a reception with food and drinks. It will begin at 10:00am PT and run until 2:30pm PT, including lunch.

“Consider This Live is essential to our growing collection of creator- and artisan-driven live events that include IndieWire Honors and Pass the Remote,” said Dana Harris-Bridson, senior VP and Editor-in-Chief of IndieWire. “We’re proud to celebrate the Paramount+ lineup.”

“We’re thrilled to bring back Consider This Live exclusively with Paramount+,” said IndieWire SVP & Publisher James Israel. “We have an eclectic group of creators and cast that represent such a great range of shows for a fantastic event.”

Kelsey Grammer is a TV legend, one of the most honored performers in the history of the medium with a total of six Emmy wins, including four for Best Actor in a Comedy Series for playing Dr. Frasier Crane on “Frasier.” Those four wins tie the all-time record for the most Emmy wins in the Best Actor in a Comedy Series category. His revival of the character on Paramount+’s “Frasier” in 2023 was a welcome return for the legions of fans he’s earned across decades.

David Oyelowo is one of the most acclaimed actors of the past decade. His performance as Martin Luther King in “Selma” is one of the most revered of the 21st century. And with “Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” he’s helping tell the story of a Black hero whose story has shockingly not been told with this depth before now. 

Matt Bomer has created incredibly distinctive characters in TV and film for the past 15 years, from “White Collar” and “Doom Patrol,” to “Magic Mike.” He earned a Golden Globe win and an Emmy nomination for his performance in HBO’s adaptation of “The Normal Heart” in 2015. With “Fellow Travelers,” he’s helping bring to life an important chapter of American history, about how McCarthyism intersected with anti-LGBT discrimination in the 1950s. Playing a State Department employee carefully guarding the truth about his sexuality, Bomer received a Critics Choice Television Award nomination for the role.

Producing, directing, and below the line talents will be on hand, such as “Star Trek” franchise overlord Alex Kurtzman discussing “Discovery” and “Strange New Worlds,” which he executive produces; Ben Vanstone, executive producer of “A Gentleman in Moscow”; legendary TV director James Burrows, from “Frasier”; EP/creator/writer Ron Nyswaner from “Fellow Travelers”; dynamic EP/creator/writer/actor duo Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall from “Colin from Accounts”; and actor/EP David Oyelowo of “Lawmen: Bass Reeves.”
