2026 is the 50th anniversary of the hit 1970s TV show Charlie's Angels, and it has been confirmed that Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd will reunite to honor the series at Paleyfest LA on April 6. Kate, Jaclyn, and Cheryl will all attend the celebration of the show which aired for five seasons between 1976 and 1981 and followed the crime-fighting adventures of three women working at a private detective agency in Los Angeles. 

Season one starred Kate, Jaclyn, and the late Farrah Fawcett as Sabrina, Kelly, and Jill. Cheryl replaced Farrah in the second season as Jill's younger sister Kris. Kate left at the end of season three and Shelley Hack took on the role of the third angel as Tiffany and then Tanya Roberts as Julie in season five.

The series spawned a franchise including a film series that began with the 2000 film with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, and the 2003 sequel. John Forsythe voiced Charlie in the TV series and the two films before his death in 2010.

The 2026 PaleyFest in Los Angeles will also celebrate ABC's reboot of Scrubs, Apple TV’s acclaimed series’ Pluribus, Shrinking, and Your Friends & Neighbors; the Emmy Award-winning series The Pitt from HBO Max; and the Netflix series Emily in Paris, and Nobody Wants This, and will be a star-studded affair with Emmy winner Rhea Seehorn, Kristen Bell, Zach Braff, Adam Brody, Sarah Chalke, Lily Collins, Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, Jason Segel, Darren Star, Karolina Wydra, and Noah Wyle all in attendance.
