Today, Paramount has confirmed it won’t be returning to upfront week in 2024. Instead, the company will once again host a series of “high-impact, intimate upfront gatherings” for each of its agency partners and their clients across New York, L.A. and Chicago, a Paramount spokeswoman told Adweek. The events are set to begin in late April.

Paramount shocked the TV industry in 2023 by skipping its decades-long upfront week event at Carnegie Hall, but this announcement doesn’t come as a surprise.

“The feedback from last year’s approach was incredibly positive,” the spokeswoman said.
