SCAD Savannah Sets TV Sidebar With Fahy, Bettany, Rossum and Hawke
Meghann Fahy, Paul Bettany, Emmy Rossum, Ethan Hawke and Sterlin Harjo are heading to Savannah for four nights of television.
The SCAD Savannah Film Festival will present its third annual TV Sidebar, with four programme screenings followed by award presentations and conversations, organisers have confirmed Deadline. The festival runs 24 to 31 October in Savannah, Georgia. Four shows. Four honours.
The sidebar opens on 24 October with The Good Daughter. Meghann Fahy will receive the Spotlight in Television Award at the screening. The show is a limited series, meaning it tells one complete story in a single season, based on Karin Slaughter's bestselling novel.
Fahy stars as Charlotte 'Charlie' Quinn alongside Rose Byrne as Samantha 'Sam' Quinn. The series premieres 12 November on Peacock.
Paul Bettany follows on 26 October. He will receive the Virtuoso Award at a screening of Marvel Television's VisionQuest. The Disney+ series continues the story of Vision following the events of WandaVision, with Bettany returning in the role.
Then comes Emmy Rossum on 28 October. She will receive the Outstanding Achievement in Television Award at a screening of the Hulu Original drama series Furious. The series was created, written and executive produced by Elizabeth Meriwether.
In Furious, Rossum stars as FBI agent Alice Black. She is hunting a mysterious female serial killer played by Lola Petticrew.
The sidebar closes on 30 October with The Lowdown. Ethan Hawke and Sterlin Harjo will receive the Outstanding Collaboration in Television Award at the screening of the FX and Hulu series. It is a Tulsa-set noir series created, executive produced, written and directed by Harjo, and starring Hawke as Lee Raybon.
For fans, this means an early look before the living-room premiere. Festival screenings often come with cast and creator conversations, and Savannah has built its TV strand around exactly that.
Tickets for the 2026 festival go on sale Friday, 2 October WSAV. The wider line-up also includes a 'Pixels and Pencils' animation panel.
