The 50th anniversary of Charlie's Angels is coming up this March 21, 2026. The pilot was aired on March 21, 1976; and it premiered as a TV series on September 22, 1976. It ran for five seasons and made superstars out of all its gorgeous Angels. PaleyFest LA 2026 has included the Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion among its featured highlights. Founded in 1984, PaleyFest LA is an annual festival for television hosted by The Paley Center for Media in Los Angeles; and it features screenings specially chosen for the festival, followed by exclusive, behind-the-scenes panels with cast and creators. The pop-culture event brings together television fans with the stars and the creators of their favorite TV shows. PaleyFest LA 2026 will run from April 4 to 12 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The Charlie's Angels 50th Anniversary Reunion will be held on April 6 with Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd in attendance.
Last February 10, Closer reported that Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd had to talk Kate Jackson into joining them at PaleyFest LA 2026. Kate, who has stepped back from showbiz and had moved to Keswick, Virginia, has been enjoying life away from the Hollywood spotlight. It took a lot for Jaclyn and Cheryl to talk Kate into this," a source told Closer. "This being the 50th anniversary did sway her," the source added. "She's aware that moments like this don't come around often."
With that in mind, wouldn't it be an even bigger blast if Shelley Hack (the only other living Angel from the original series) joined Kate, Jaclyn and Cheryl as well? There was never a Charlie's Angels reunion that involved the entire TOS Angel roster, and, sadly, there never will be (now that Farrah and Tanya have passed way). But still wouldn't it be a phenomenal event if Charlie's four living Angels were all on stage, facing their fans, answering all their questions? Wouldn't that be one unforgettable (and a definitely historically significant) Angel event for all the Charlie's Angels fans around the world? Wouldn't that be just heavenly? Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd, could you also talk Shelley into joining you three for this historic reunion? Please? (For more, check out: Angels 50th Anniv Reunion and 50th Anniversary Reunion)
