Having landed a whopping total of 57 Emmy nominations in 2023 — 28 from the masterful final season of Succession alone — there’s no denying it’s HBO‘s world and we’re just living in it.

But the second/third Golden Age of Television hasn’t been informed by a complete monopoly.

Thanks to the ongoing success of feel-good sports comedy Ted Lasso (21) — which also just concluded its four-season run a few months prior — as well as its recent push towards premium content like Black Bird starring Taron Egerton, Apple TV+ raked in an equally impressive 54 Emmy nominations.

Check out who’s in the running for what below.

The 75th annual Emmys are scheduled to air live from the Peacock Theatre on September 18th, 2023 (US time). A host for the Fox-broadcasted award ceremony has not yet been announced.

There is, however, a possibility the presentations could be delayed if there isn’t a resolution to the ongoing writers’ strike; with the threat of an actors’ strike now reportedly looming as SAG-AFTRA continues its contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.

Stay tuned for the details.
