When is Pilot Season in Los Angeles?

 

Pilot season in Los Angeles is generally January to April for network television. Cable networks will produce pilots throughout the year. We are seeing less pilots from streaming services but they do make them sporadically. Networks announce the picked-up shows to the advertisers at the Upfronts. Upfronts is the annual event during which the television executives show advertisers their planned programming for the upcoming television season. This usually takes place in New York in May.
