While the full lineup of PaleyFest 2013 is still a few weeks away, we have a bit more PaleyFest news for you guys: AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM and THE NEW NORMAL will have panels, and their co-creator, Ryan Murphy, is being honored with the inaugural PaleyFest Icon Award.

“Ryan Murphy is a true innovator and one of the most original creators working in television today,” said Pat Mitchell, President and CEO of The Paley Center for Media in a statement. “Each of his series has been a game changer in the medium, and continues to inform the cultural conversation. We can’t imagine a more fitting PaleyFest Icon for the Festival’s 30th anniversary.”

“I have loved the lively Paley Festival evenings I’ve participated in over the years, which are a unique opportunity for creators, actors and viewers to come together and discuss the work that we spend so much time creating in isolation,” commented Ryan Murphy. “I couldn’t be more honored to be recognized by this organization for which I have so much professional respect and personal gratitude.”

ONCE UPON A TIME, THE NEWSROOM, and REVOLUTION were the first 2013 PaleyFest shows to be announced. The full lineup will be announced January 9, 2013. Check the official Paley Center site for additional ticket/package details.
