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.

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.
