Out of the shows that a jury could determine are fit to be nominated for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series against two major Emmy winners, CBS series "After Midnight" stands the best chance.
While being the follow up to an Emmy-winning series helps, it does say a lot for an Outstanding TV Movie contender to already have a sequel in the works.
"The Traitors" producers Mike Cotton and Sam Rees-Jones talk to IndieWire about how putting together the Peacock competition show's first all-celebrity cast felt like "the Avengers assembling."
The risk of incorporating contemporary pop into the Regency era "Bridgerton" is set in has come with great reward. Other similar shows could benefit from the same approach to their scoring.
The silver lining of so few Outstanding Scripted Variety Series submissions is a jury deciding more than just the usual winners deserve Emmys consideration.
While Fox still has a couple shows that seem to be mainstays, several streaming services launched highly regarded animated Emmys contenders this TV season.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has today announced a $500 million campaign called Academy100, which aims to turn the 100th Oscars in 2028 into even more of a global celebration.
There is no reason that the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category should be such a bloodbath every year, especially when these shows in particular only get one shot at the Emmys.
