The 2026 Emmy nominations were just revealed on July 8, and, as always, there was a mix of surprises, snubs and deserved nominations. Top of the list was "Industry" season 4, which was shut out from the Emmys despite being the best show I've seen in 2026 so far.
But while "Industry" was snubbed, plenty of shows worthy of a watch were given a nod by the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. And I should know; last year I watched 60 shows, and this year I've seen 35 shows and counting. Returning shows like "The Pitt" and "Hacks" lead the pack with 25 and 24 nominations, respectively, and both are immediately worth adding to your watch list. New series like "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" and "Widow's Bay" also scored quite a few nominations in their debut seasons.
