The State of the Race
Emmy season has arrived, and after a year of TV production rebuilding voters are now swimming (drowning?) in an ocean of contenders new and old.
More from IndieWire
With an eligibility period of June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022, TV Academy members must consider everything from last summer’s breakout hit “The White Lotus” (HBO) all the way to the upcoming, long-awaited return of “Stranger Things” (Netflix).
The last month alone offered enough premieres to fill up the awards categories, including new seasons of “Atlanta” (FX), “Russian Doll” (Netflix), and “Barry” (HBO) that were years in the making, and the current trend of limited series ripped from recent headlines like “The Dropout,” “The Girl from Plainville” (Hulu), and “WeCrashed” (Apple TV+).
While the Emmys have a reputation for awarding specific favorites year after year, the widespread delays caused by the pandemic made room for new TV Academy darlings like “Hacks” (HBO Max) and “Ted Lasso” (Apple TV+) that now will try their luck at overtaking Amazon Prime Video’s awards behemoth “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
For insight on the shows and stars we expect to go the distance this awards season, see the individual prediction pages listed below. IndieWire’s Emmy predictions will be refreshed throughout the race, so bookmark this page for the most accurate power rankings out there, and make sure to follow IndieWire on Twitter and Facebook for all the latest Emmys news.
