Emmy watchers are in for an intriguing race this year as several top contenders are considering a shift from the limited series category to the drama series race. Shows like Apple TV+'s 'Masters of the Air,' FX's 'Shogun,' and HBO's 'The Sympathizer' are contemplating future seasons, prompting discussions among network executives, agents, creators, and awards consultants.
To qualify for the drama series category, networks must demonstrate that the production will extend beyond one season, diverging from their initial plans. With the submission deadline on May 9 for programs airing between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, decisions are imminent.
