In its current form, the Best Animated Program Emmy category allows submissions targeted at viewers aged 13 and above, while series and specials made for younger audiences are now relegated to the Children’s and Family Emmys. Potential nominees for this award are also required to have runtimes in excess of 15 minutes.

The 2023 Best Animated Program ballot list below consists of 33 entries (which include plot descriptions). Per category rules, all are either one-off specials or single episodes of continuing series. Seeking their dozenth victory and first since 2019 are the team behind “The Simpsons,” who just wrapped their 34th season. Other shows hoping for repeat wins this year include “Archer,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal,” “Rick and Morty,” and “South Park.”

Unlike the nominees in most program categories, which are chosen by all 20,000 plus academy members, the animated program contenders are picked only by voters from the animation, children’s programming, emerging media programming, and motion and title design branches. This year, they have until June 26 to cast their ballots, which will be tallied to determine the five nominees that will be announced on July 12. Which of the shows listed below do you expect to see in the final lineup?
