2025 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. The State of the Race Though we stand by our opinion that the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series Emmy category should expand to a permanent eight nominations like its Comedy and Drama counterparts, it would be tough for voters to count eight or more limited or anthology series they actually watched this season. More from IndieWire 'The Bear' Review: Season 4 Is Another Sweet, Stirring, and Inconsistent Dish Amazon Prime Video to Other Streamers: You Need Us Netflix, which has won this category two years running, has fared the best, with 'Adolescence' cracking the list of its top 10 most watched original TV series of all time. It premiering at the beginning of spring, much like Emmy winners 'Beef' and 'Baby Reindeer' before it, indicates that its streaming service has cannily figured out the best current recipe for making a Limited Series Emmy frontrunner. This comes much to the chagrin of TV mogul Ryan Murphy, who did produce another major hit for Netflix with 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' one that became so popular it got its subjects another court date to possibly be paroled. However, like its predecessor 'Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,' it premiered too early to maintain the momentum needed to win the category. Same thing goes for 'The Penguin,' which premiered early last fall. Prior to 'Adolescence,' the TV spin-off of 'The Batman' was a shoo-in for the Emmy, having become a huge win for HBO both critically and commercially. It won several winter TV awards including a Golden Globe and two Critics Choice Awards for its leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. But nominations voting for the Emmy Awards does not start until mid-June. Ultimately, the DC Studios TV project should do very well nominations-wise, but is facing an uphill battle against the four episode, big word-of-mouth hit that is easier to catch up on, 'Adolescence.' Though Netflix had a late-in-the-game hit with 'Sirens,' the most likely contenders for the final two nomination slots come from FX and Apple TV+. The strongest option comes from the former, as 'Dying for Sex' is a really strong vehicle for Michelle Williams, who is campaigning in the one key acting category 'Adolescence' did not submit for. It also stands out for having shorter episodes, and being funnier than the rest of the pack, even though it is about a woman dying of cancer. FX also has what would be the big prestige choice, Peabody Award winner 'Say Nothing,' an adaptation of the 2018 book of the same name by Patrick Radden Keefe that has largely been received as a new classic. That it won a USC Scripter Award earlier this year, ending what had been a two year winning streak for 'Slow Horses,' indicates that the show had a bigger awards-voting audience than people anticipate. However, the biggest hit of both the FX shows and Apple TV+ shows, was the newest version of 'Presumed Innocent' from prolific showrunner David E. Kelley. The series was a big hit last summer, but that is a lot of time to stay top of mind for voters, especially when its leads Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Negga have not been too present to campaign for the show. Same goes for the other Apple TV+ contender 'Disclaimer,' which is led by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón and Oscar-winning actors Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. Apple TV+ also has 'Dope Thief,' which premiered more recently, but is much more of a player in the acting categories than for the series category. Predicted Nominees:'Adolescence' (Netflix)'Dying for Sex' (FX)'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' (Netflix)'The Penguin' (HBO)'Say Nothing' (FX) Contenders:'Black Mirror' (Netflix)'Disclaimer' (Apple TV+)'Presumed Innocent' (Apple TV+) In a Perfect World:'Clipped' (Hulu)'Get Millie Black' (HBO)'Three Women' (Starz) More Limited Series and TV Movie Category Predictions:Outstanding TV MovieOutstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie View IndieWire's full set of predictions for the 77th Emmy Awards.

2025 Emmys Predictions: Outstanding Comedy Series
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. The State of the Race The Outstanding Comedy Series nominations have been the most consistent among the main series categories, so it feels really easy to say that 'Abbott Elementary,' 'The Bear,' 'Hacks,' and 'Only Murders in the Building' are all set for their third or fourth nominations in the category. 'What We Do in the Shadows' also feels like a safe prediction, even though it was not nominated every season it was on, because it made the cut last year, and is in its last eligible year. More from IndieWire Everything to Remember from 'Squid Game' Season 1 and 2 'Matlock' Production Designer Adam Rowe on How Two Canceled Shows Gave the CBS Hit Its Scale In terms of new contenders, Netflix has uncharacteristically entered this season with the most comedies, which could be seen as a good thing or a bad thing for the streaming service. The consensus is that romantic comedy 'Nobody Wants This' is a shoo-in for a nomination, as it has had a long runway of campaigning that includes some winter TV award wins, but it has been harder to parse whether voters preferred 'The Four Season' over 'The Residence,' or 'A Man on the Inside' over 'Running Point.' All the shows have run strong campaigns, to the point where an Emmy voter would have a different answer on which ones they're voting for any given day. Apple TV+ has been more succinct. 'The Studio' is its big new comedy, and although people have questions about who the show is for outside of people who work in Hollywood, the Emmys are importantly voted on by people who work in Hollywood. 'Shrinking' also stands out as a strong candidate for a nomination, even though it did not receive one for Season 1, because it is one of the series that has leaned heavily into being shot in Los Angeles, even having voters come visit the set as part of its official For Your Consideration event. The devastating wildfires in January have really put that element into focus, as the influential Television Academy members that are going to all these shows' FYC events are largely LA-based creatives that want to keep more work inside the city. Surprisingly, the big wild cards in the comedy race are HBO series. While 'Hacks' has helped the develop the identity of HBO Max as this hub for broader shows with an edge that comes from not having to worry about standards and practices as much, HBO proper has seen its comedies get darker and weirder in the past couple years. Ultimately, that has led to continued critical success, but on the Emmys front, voters have not been as welcoming to 'The Righteous Gemstones' or 'The Rehearsal,' which is a shame, because they are two contenders that have made their audiences laugh the hardest. With this being the last season for 'The Righteous Gemstones,' and 'The Rehearsal' becoming a bigger hit that does not have to deal with comparisons to 'Jury Duty' this time around, there is a glimmer of hope that the Emmys will embrace both shows this year, or the small but adored 'Somebody Somewhere.' After all, this is the network that absolutely dominated this category with 'Veep' less than a decade ago. Predicted Nominees:'Abbott Elementary' (ABC)'The Bear' (FX)'Hacks' (HBO Max)'Nobody Wants This' (Netflix)'Only Murders in the Building' (Hulu)'Shrinking' (Apple TV+)'The Studio' (Apple TV+)'What We Do in the Shadows' (FX) Contenders:'Agatha All Along' (Disney+)'The Four Seasons' (Netflix)'The Rehearsal' (HBO)In a Perfect World:'Colin from Accounts' (Paramount+)'Ghosts' (CBS)'Overcompensating' (Prime Video) More Comedy Category Predictions:Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy SeriesOutstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy SeriesOutstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy SeriesOutstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series View IndieWire's full set of predictions for the 77th Emmy Awards.

2025 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Television Movie
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. The State of the Race This is not meant to be rude to the film 'Am I Ok?,' a Sundance 2022 premiere that finally made it onto HBO Max last summer, but do voters know that it's an Emmys contender? There are actual Outstanding TV Movie contenders that have campaigned so much harder, so it is a surprise to see the Dakota Johnson-led comedy still place so high on prognosticators' lists. In fact, HBO Max itself has never been nominated in this category before. HBO proper hasn't even been nominated for TV Movie the past two years. More from IndieWire 'The Bear' Review: Season 4 Is Another Sweet, Stirring, and Inconsistent Dish Amazon Prime Video to Other Streamers: You Need Us That is likely set to change with new HBO contender 'Mountainhead,' which continued the risky strategy of premiering at the very end of the Emmys eligibility window, but did so in a smarter way, putting it on voters' radars the second Emmys season started, and impressing them with how quickly it was made. It is also written and directed by 'Succession' creator Jesse Armstrong, who already has several Emmys to his name. 'Mountainhead' is one of four films that are on just about every nominations predictions list, with two other contenders being obvious enough for the general public to guess. First is 'Rebel Ridge,' one of the biggest Netflix films of the year, which has taken star Aaron Pierre to a new level of success where he's even getting James Bond casting rumors leveled at him. Interesting too that the streaming service did not submit 'Carry-On,' a similarly popular hit action film that premiered closer to the holidays, as it would have probably cannibalized Netflix's chances of winning this category. The other movie that seems bound for an Emmy nomination is 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,' the fourth Bridget Jones film starring Renée Zellweger. Though it premiered on Peacock in the United States, the movie was actually a big hit abroad. The Emmy race for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie is pretty thin too, so Zellweger, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in the first film, is likely to have an Emmy nomination that will draw more voters toward watching the sequel. Less on the public's radar, but a staple of the most recent TV awards is the film 'Out of My Mind,' streaming on Disney+. The YA novel adaptation about a young girl with cerebral palsy trying to find her voice was a sleeper hit at Sundance 2024, and has since won a Peabody Award and been one of the Television Academy honorees this year. The film especially has great word-of-mouth, eliciting tears from the majority of the audience at its official for your consideration event at the Academy Museum. In terms of what could actually be nominated in the slot people predict 'Am I Ok?' will be in, look no further than Tina Mabry's 'The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat.' Not only does it star Uzo Aduba, who is a TV Academy favorite, it comes from reigning category winner Hulu. Predicted Nominees:'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' (Peacock)'Mountainhead' (HBO)'Out of My Mind' (Disney+)'Rebel Ridge' (Netflix)'The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat' (Hulu) Contenders:'Another Simple Favor' (Prime Video)'G20' (Prime Video)'Star Trek: Section 31' (Paramount+) In a Perfect World:'It's What's Inside' (Netflix)'The Other, Gold' (Tubi)'Sweethearts' (HBO Max) More Limited Series and TV Movie Category Predictions:Outstanding Limited or Anthology SeriesOutstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or a MovieOutstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie View IndieWire's full set of predictions for the 77th Emmy Year's Winner: 'Quiz Lady'Still Eligible: Streak: None of the networks have had back-to-back wins since the category became Outstanding Television Movie, and left out anthology entries like the Emmy winning episodes of 'Black Mirror' and 'Sherlock.' However, Hulu has really made a splash in this space the past two years, so it is entirely possible one of its films continues the Ineligible Films: 'Carry-On' (the film was not submitted for Emmys consideration); 'Deep Cover' (the film will not premiere in time to be eligible); 'Swiped' (the film will not premiere in time to be eligible) Best of IndieWire 2023 Emmy Predictions: Who Will Win at the Primetime Emmy Awards? 2023 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special 2023 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series Solve the daily Crossword

2025 Emmys Predictions: Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. Can only one episode win a performer an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie? That's one of the main questions for the category this year, and one could argue both sides. With only four episodes, 'Adolescence' is running the Limited Series conversation much in the same way fellow British Netflix series 'Baby Reindeer' did last year. More from IndieWire JD Vance's 'SNL' Body Double Bowen Yang Calls Him a 'Pope Killer': 'Somebody Had to Say It' Tony Gilroy Unpacks That First 'Andor' Season 2 'Crescendo' and 'Lighting the Fuse' for What's to Come But while the star of that series, Jessica Gunning, had a whole lot of runway to show off her talents, the actress that got the best showcase in 'Adolescence,' Erin Doherty, only shows up for a quarter of the series. While seeing her opposite newcomer Owen Cooper in a tour de force performance has been a breakout moment for 'The Crown' alum, the landscape for this category is still filled with some laudable performances that may be too hard to ignore. For instance, 'Dying for Sex' star Jenny Slate is in a similar position, where her co-star Michelle Williams is one of the frontrunners for the Lead Actress in a Limited Series category, and by being her primary scene partner, voters will likely view what has been Slate's biggest and best role in years (she has mostly worked in animation and character actress roles since 2017.) There are also full ensembles offering more than one Supporting Actress contender, many of which are fellow Netflix shows. Arguably the strongest would be 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' which features Chloe Sevigny and Ari Graynor opposite performances by Javier Bardem, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and Cooper Koch, who are expected to also receive Emmy nominations. Season 1 of the Netflix anthology series, which was focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, also earned star Niecy Nash-Betts an Emmy in this category. 'Zero Day' did not reach the level of critical or commercial success that Netflix may have expected, given its starry cast, but to hear that neither Joan Allen nor Angela Bassett has won a Primetime Emmy for one of their performances (the latter just has one for narration,) may add some momentum to their campaigns. And Netflix has been tight-lipped about 'Sirens,' but the series from the creator of 'Maid' should offer another contender in this category once it premieres in May. But to go back even earlier on the calendar, not only are Lesley Manville and Leila George impressive supporting players in the Apple TV+ series 'Disclaimer,' the show also got a fall festival run akin to what Oscar contenders receive. Should that literary adaptation from Alfonso Cuarón catch a second wind, there should be room in this category for them as well. Same goes for the other streamers, whether it is Hulu touting Imogen Faith Reid in 'Good American Family,' which is an incredibly difficult first role to pull off, or the upcoming 'The Better Sister' starring Elizabeth Banks on Amazon Prime Video. And 'The Penguin' was a huge success for HBO, with plenty members of the supporting cast to latch onto. That said, there are likely less submissions overall for the Limited Series categories this year, meaning less room for worthy performances to make the cut. Current Contenders (In Alphabetical Order):Joan Allen, 'Zero Day' (Netflix)Elizabeth Banks, 'The Better Sister' (Prime Video)Angela Bassett, 'Zero Day' (Netflix)Erin Doherty, 'Adolescence' (Netflix)Leila George, 'Disclaimer' (Apple TV+)Betty Gilpin, 'Three Women' (Starz)Ari Graynor, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' (Netflix)Taraji P.

2025 Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Scripted Variety Series
We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' and 'Saturday Night Live' will be this year's Outstanding Scripted Variety Series nominees. Let's just get that out of the way. More from IndieWire The 29 Ballets of 'Étoile': How They Restaged Classic Productions and Created Tobias Bell's Originals Diego Luna Tells Us Why 'Something Has To Be on the Line' in 'Andor' Season 2 What's frustrating is it's not that those two shows aren't deserving of recognition — it's that the Television Academy changed the voting rules to guarantee those two shows will be the only two recognized as long as this category exists. The Outstanding Scripted Variety Series category itself was started two years ago transparently as a way to move the incredibly dominant 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' from contention against more traditional late-night talk shows. At that point, the category had enough submissions to use one of the standard formulas the Academy uses to determine how many nominees are in any given category. Then, last year, the submissions for the category dropped below eight, meaning nominations would be determined by a jury of appropriate peers, with each submission needing 90% approval to be nominated. Since there was no cap on how many nominations there could be in the category with that iteration of the Emmy rules, it left scripted variety show fans excited that at least one newer entrant could break in, and compete with the long-running, highly decorated pair of annual nominees. Looking at 'A Black Lady Sketch Show,' the last series to be nominated against 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' and 'Saturday Night Live,' that exposure led to the HBO sketch series receiving nominations in multiple categories over the years. It even won four. Anyways, after Emmys campaigning was already up and running, the TV Academy changed its rule for categories with under eight submissions to lower the approval rating to 70 percent of peers, then capping the number of nominees to two. No other shows stood any chance against two series that have become institutions, and that sucks if you like scripted variety series and want to see more of them on TV. Emmy nominations had kept cult series like 'Drunk History' and 'Portlandia' alive, allowing them to grow and develop a fan base. Meanwhile, CBS' Taylor Tomlinson-hosted 'After Midnight,' the other show that would have likely been nominated if the TV Academy didn't stop nominations at two, is already set to end once this season is over. With all that said, kudos to HBO for still greenlighting shows like 'Fantasmas' and 'It's Florida, Man,' keeping alive the kind of idiosyncratic comedy that inspires people to want to be comedic performers. If there was no cap on nominees in this category, 'Fantasmas' in particular would be a shoo-in based on the acclaim it received from the Gotham Awards and Independent Spirit Awards. Hopefully, voters at least sample that show, and others, even if it's inevitable that only two shows will be nominated for this category. Current Contenders (In Alphabetical Order):'After Midnight' (CBS)'Fantasmas' (HBO)'It's Florida, Man' (HBO)'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' (HBO)'Saturday Night Live' (NBC) More Category Predictions:Outstanding Animated ProgramOutstanding Talk SeriesOutstanding Documentary or Nonfiction SeriesOutstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special View IndieWire's full set of predictions for the 77th Emmy Year's Winner: 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'Still Eligible: Streak: From its time in the Variety Talk category to here in the Scripted Variety Series category, 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver' has won the Emmy nine years straight.
