Greg Berlanti to Receive Paley Center Honors Award at 2026 Fall Gala in Beverly Hills

Greg Berlanti, the prolific producer behind hits like 'The Flash,' 'Riverdale,' and 'Love, Simon,' will receive the Paley Center for Media's highest honor, the Paley Honors Award, at its 2026 Fall Gala. The event is set for Thursday, December 3, at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills. The Paley Center recognizes individuals whose work has profoundly shaped the media landscape, and Berlanti's record-breaking number of scripted series on air at once, along with his advocacy for LGBTQ+ representation, makes him a fitting recipient. Additional honorees for the gala will be announced at a later date. This award places Berlanti among past recipients like Tyler Perry and Meryl Streep, cementing his legacy as a transformative force in television storytelling.
