The 2026 Primetime Emmy nominations have finally arrived after a year of goodbyes to major Emmy-winning series like “Hacks,” “Euphoria,” and “Stranger Things.”
This television season has been a trickier one for Emmy predictions, as there have not been as many undeniable breakout TV hits on both a critical and commercial level besides “Pluribus” on Apple TV, led by Rhea Seehorn, who was an IndieWire Honors recipient in June.
At around 24,000 members, the Television Academy has spent most of the year making their way through hundreds of series, including reigning Outstanding Drama Series winner “The Pitt” on HBO Max, or past Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series winner “Beef,” as well as more new shows like “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette” or “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” with their nominations voting period wrapping on Monday, June 22.
This year, the nominations were announced by recent Emmy winners Liza Colón-Zayas (“The Bear”) and Jeff Hiller (“Somebody Somewhere”), during a livestream from the Wolf Theatre in the Academy’s Saban Media Center.
The 78th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to take place on Monday, September 14, live on NBC at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. “Law & Order: SVU” star Mariska Hargitay will serve as host of the awards ceremony.
Check out the full list of nominations below.
