As if masterminded by Hiroyuki Sanada’s Lord Yoshi Toranaga himself, Shogun has earned 25 Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 2024 after reclassifying from limited series to an ongoing drama.

This “Crimson Sky”-esque manoeuvre has cemented its status as the year’s most nominated program, beating out the likes of FX’s The Bear (23), Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building (21), HBO’s True Detective: Night Country (19), as well as Netflix’s The Crown (18).

In terms of where television’s finest entertainment is being produced, Netflix has led the pack with a total of 107 nominations across 35 programs; followed by FX with 93 across nine programs (including Shogun and The Bear), HBO/Max with 91 across 29 programs, and Apple TV+ with 72 across 16 programs.

As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter, effectively, The Walt Disney Co — which owns the likes of ABC, FX, Hulu, and course Disney+ (among others) — has notched a record-best 183 Primetime Emmy Award nominations for the year.

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to be hosted at Los Angeles’ Peacock Theatre on September 15th, 2024 (September 16th, 2024 here in Australia) with ABC handling the live broadcast.
