There's less than two weeks left before the 25th Annual Paley Festival kicks off in Hollywood, but fans who have yet to score tickets to the usual crowd-drawer will be happy to know that Paley Center for Media has decided to extend the event with another star-studded leg.
The non-profit organization dedicated to television, new media and radio has added 11 more shows to this year's lineup, one of which is ABC Family's sci-fi series,
Kyle XY. The new leg is scheduled to begin on Friday, March 28.

“It is an honor to be included in the Paley Festival and to be recognized as a successful show,” actor
Matt Dallas, who plays the title character on
Kyle XY, said. “This season was a great season and we are proud of the work we have accomplished thus far. We are excited to go back to work and continue to make a show that we all love.”
Other shows that will be featured at the Paley Festival include
Pushing Daisies (Saturday, March 15),
Chuck (Tuesday, March 18),
Friday Night Lights (Wednesday, March 19),
Dancing with the Stars (Friday, March 21),
Gossip Girl (Saturday, March 22),
Damages (Monday, March
24),
Dirty Sexy Money (Tuesday, March 25),
Mad Men (Thursday, March 27),
Bones, Moonlight, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Greek, The Sarah Silverman Program and
The View.
According to
TV Guide, the cast and crews of the shows will field questions in bicoastal screenings, followed by intimate Q&A portions.
At present, ABC Family is airing the second half of
Kyle XY's sophomore season. The show, which revolves around a superhuman teenager living with a normal family, was largely unaffected by the three-month long WGA strike as it was able to complete all its second- season episodes before the walkout commenced in November.
"The great thing about this season is they've really matured the show without losing what made it so appealing in the first place," Matt Dallas said in separate interview with
Sioux City Journal. "Kyle has grown up but he still has a naivete about him."
Apart from Matt Dallas,
Kyle XY also stars
Bruce Thomas,
Marguerite MacIntyre,
April Matson,
Jean-Luc Bilodeau,
Chris Olivero,
Kirsten Prout,
Jaimie Alexander and
Leah Cairns.
