SEE2023 Emmy Predictions: Best Drama Series

In the race for Best Comedy Series, it’s too close to call between “Ted Lasso” and “Abbott Elementary”; as of this writing both shows get 5/1 odds. Overall, in the categories we’re predicting, “Lasso” is expected to reap six bids, while “Abbott” is expected to pick up seven. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We’re predicting series and acting categories, but the Emmys will also bestow awards for writing, directing, casting, and numerous crafts. Last year “Ted Lasso’s” total of nominations was 20, while “Abbott’s” was only seven. But “Abbott” has enjoyed tremendous acclaim, so could it be in for a much bigger windfall this time around?

Over in the drama categories, a big question is just how big “Succession” will be in its fourth and final season. The reigning two-time champ for Best Drama Series set a new record in 2022 for the most acting nominations in a single year (14). We’re expecting it to do just as well in 2023. We’re betting on it to win Best Drama Series for the third time, and if we’re right it’ll receive a record-tying 14 performance bids. What’s more, it’s tipped to win four of the six drama acting races. The only losses we’re projecting for the series are Best Drama Supporting Actress (Jennifer Coolidge is the front-runner for “The White Lotus”) and Best Drama Guest Actor (Nick Offerman is the front-runner for “The Last of Us”).

See who else we’re anticipating for nominations this coming Wednesday below. Do you agree with our forecasts? Or are we completely out to lunch? There’s still time to make or update your own predictions here before the nominations are officially unveiled.
