We hope you enjoyed our first Emmy video podcast, The Limited Series Categories, because now it’s time for comedy.
Comedy is a section that feels both packed with competition yet also surprisingly slim. We know the latter part of that because of the Emmys’ new sliding scale of nomination slots based on submissions by category. While it seemed like we all did nothing but consume massive amounts of television during 2020, we ended up with fewer slots this year than last, with some back down to just five, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Much of the conversation revolves around just three shows: Ted Lasso from Apple TV+ and Hacks and The Flight Attendant, both from HBO Max. Each are expected to rack up a boatload of nominations and in the case of Ted Lasso, two or three in the supporting categories.
But several shows could also find themselves with strong numbers on nomination morning including Hulu’s PEN15, Netflix’s The Kominsky Method and even a bit of a comeback for network television with ABC’s black-ish, plus Kenan and Mr. Mayor from NBC.
