Get the cameras rolling, this is great stuff: The stars and co-creator of the savage reality TV satire UnREAL will reunite at ATX TV Festival for the show’s 10th anniversary.

Stars Shiri Appleby (Rachel), Constance Zimmer (Quinn), Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman (Jay) and Craig Bierko (Chet) will join co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro for a retrospective “to reflect on the show’s exploration of the dark side of reality TV, the complex antiheroes at its center, its most memorable character moments and one-liners, and how the show’s recent debut on Netflix has led to a resurgence with both original fans and new viewers,” per the festival’s official panel description.
