How Shows Like ‘Baby Reindeer’ Could Fare in the 2024 Emmys Race

On this week's episode of "Screen Talk," we parse out which shows one could watch to keep up with the 2024 Emmys race, from the final season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to the new Netflix sensation "Baby Reindeer."

Taking a break from the regularly scheduled programming, the latest episode of IndieWire’s “Screen Talk” sees host Ryan Lattanzio invite Awards Editor Marcus Jones on the show to break down the 2024 Emmys race that is already in process.

Despite Primetime Emmys being awarded in January, due to strike delays, TV networks and streaming services have already spent a month and half setting up events each night to screen their contenders, and curate a panel of what people that worked on the series they think should have a shot at an Emmy nomination. A reminder that the voting itself for Emmy nominations does not commence until mid-June, but as both Ryan and Marcus will admit, that still is barely enough time to catch up on all the celebrated seasons of shows that have premiered since June 2023.

Running through dozens of titles that are all viable contenders for the categories honoring scripted series, the pair discuss how the return of “Hacks” and the farewell season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” will play with Emmys voters.

Marcus also shares a theory for why he is not quick to call Apple TV+ series “Slow Horses” a TV Academy favorite yet, and why Amazon Prime Video may sneakily be the best destination for Drama category contenders this season, given both the viewership and acclaim that “Fallout” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” have received (including from Ryan for the latter).

Finally, continuing on the conversation from last week’s episode, the duo hit on the Andrew Scott-led “Ripley,” and whether or not the Netflix show should remain a limited series when there are more Patricia Highsmith novels featuring the character for showrunner Steve Zaillian to adapt. There is also talk of the newest hit for the streaming service, “Baby Reindeer,” which has rocketed into an already incredibly, incredibly tight Emmy race for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series (Netflix alone has 11 shows campaigning for one of five nomination slots in the category).
