With Emmy Submissions Likely to Drop Again, Smaller Field Could Boost Dark Horse Series and Performers

TV's bubble burst is continuing to impact Emmy submissions, with a likely drop in comedy, drama, and limited series contenders this year. The number of eligible series is declining, with around 189 likely entries across the three marquee races. This is down from previous years, with 600 submissions in contention last year, a decline from 614 the previous year. The TV Academy bases the number of nominees on submissions, which could result in fewer nominations.
