The 2026 Tribeca Festival has revealed its TV and podcast lineup.
Among the TV highlights are the world premieres of season two of FX’s Adults, season two of X-Men ’97 and the third and final season of Survival of the Thickest and a Survivor 50th season panel with fan-favorite players Cirie Fields, Rob Cesternino, Kyle Fraser, Kamilla Karthigesu, Teeny Chirichillo and Jonathan Penner, also a Tribeca programmer.
The festival will also debut the Ronan Farrow-led HBO docuseries Not A Very Good Murderer and The Palladino Files, both created with Emmy winners Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, as well as Hulu’s Every Year After adaptation, starring Elisha Cuthbert, and the third-episode premiere of Alice and Steve, starring Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker.
Additional screenings include the BBC’s Dear England, starring Joseph Fiennes, and the docuseries Alejandro Sanz: When No One Sees Me, about the music icon; 9/11: Reunited, about the bonds formed in the aftermath of the tragedy; The Man Will Burn, about the evolution of Burning Man; and Grandmasters, about the modernization of global chess.
“At Tribeca, we’ve always believed in showcasing great storytelling no matter where we find it,
Tribeca Festival Director and senior vp, programming Cara Cusumano said in a statement. “This year’s TV and podcast lineup reflects a creative landscape where stories move fluidly across formats and expands the Festival beyond the screen into shared, live moments of discovery. Together, they embody Tribeca’s commitment to interdisciplinary storytelling and to championing the voices shaping culture today, wherever and however those stories are told.”
Festival senior programmer Liza Domnitz adds, “This year’s TV lineup blends dynamic documentary storytelling with contemporary dramas and provocative comedy, capturing the cultural pulse across generations and genres. From the intimacy of personal rediscovery to the shifting landscapes of art, sports and sex, all our TV selections come anchored in brilliant post-screening conversations with creative teams, subjects or cast.”
The podcast lineup includes live tapings of On with Kara Swisher, featuring Marc Maron; The New Yorker Radio Hour with David Remnick; The New York Times’ Cannonball with Wesley Morris; and Slate’s Death, Sex & Money, with host Anna Sale joined by Peter Dinklage and Erica Schmidt.
“This year marks our most expansive program yet, deepening our focus on independent
podcast discoverability and creating even more opportunities to celebrate exceptional new
work,” Tribeca podcasts and audio head Davy Gardner said in a statement. “Meanwhile, the Tribeca
podcast stage has evolved into something larger than live recordings or performances. It’s a
place where the defining voices of the medium come to create something new: one-night-only
experiences that, together, feel like a live expression of where podcasting is today.”
