2023 has been another landmark year for HBO, and the Emmy nominations reflect the network’s enormous success. The list of nominees for TV’s biggest night is in, and HBO dramas Succession, The Last of Us, and The White Lotus are leading the way with over 20 nods each.
Succession will come into the Emmy ceremony with impressive 27 nominations, including 14 in the main field. The final season of the acclaimed drama owes most of its nominations to its remarkable ensemble cast, and Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Sarah Snook, Nicholas Braun, Matthew Macfadyen, Alan Ruck, Alexander Skarsgård, and J. Smith-Cameron have all been recognized in their respective fields.
As for the rest of the best drama contenders, The Last of Us and The White Lotus will also be vying for the highly coveted award, along with Disney’s Andor, AMC’s Better Call Saul, Netflix’s The Crown, HBO’s House of the Dragon, and Showtime’s Yellowjackets.
Shifting to the comedy categories, it’s another big year for Ted Lasso, with an impressive tally of 21 nominations, including eight nods in the main categories. The race for the outstanding limited or anthology series will be pretty cramped, and Netflix’s Beef is leading the way with 13 nominations, including nine in the primary categories.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are slated to take place on September 18, but the WGA strike looms as a potential disruptor and it’s possible that the ceremony date would shift.
