The Television Academy and Fox announced that the 75th Emmy Awards will air January 15, 2024, on Fox.
The awards show had originally been scheduled for September 18.
Holding the award show during the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes would have been a nonstarter, but there was no official announcement that the show was being postponed until now.
There were reports that vendors were told that the Emmys would not take place in September, but the September 18 date was still on the Television Academy’s website as of Wednesday.
It is not known what would happen if actors and writers were still picketing as the new year started.
The announcement from the Television Academy and Fox did not address the industry’s labor situation. Nor did it say why it was holding the award show on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Fox and the academy said they were planning to put on the show live from the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live.
The Emmy Awards will be executive produced by Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment.
Nominees for the 2023 Emmys were announced last month, with HBO’s Succession getting 27 nominations, the most of any show.
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards will take place at the Peacock Theater over January 6 and 7. An edited presentation will be aired, January 13, 2024, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FXX.
Kenan Thompson hosted last year’s 74th Annual Emmy Awards on NBC.
