With that in thoughts, Deadline’s Chief Movie Critic and Awards Columnist Pete Hammond and Senior Editor/Chief TV Critic Dominic Patten are again and persevering with with one other episode of their TV Speak podcast, this week specializing in the race for the Emmys’ marquee class of Greatest Drama Sequence, received by HBO’s juggernaut Succession in 2020 and 2022. Can it make it change into a three-time winner within the class for its fourth and remaining season? That is likely one of the questions we pose and try to reply this week for the collection that has received 13 Emmys general and is on the lookout for many extra for its swan tune.
However maybe standing in its approach was a good larger winner final 12 months, and in addition from HBO, and that may be The White Lotus which received 10 Emmys in 2022 , nearly sweeping the Restricted Sequence classes, however now could be reclassified, regardless of objections and makes an attempt to attraction by its producers, as a Drama Sequence thus establishing an fascinating showdown with Succession. Who’s to say the 2 exhibits don’t wind up cancelling themselves out? That would depart room for previous Drama Sequence winners like The Handmaid’s Story or The Crown. Then think about the critically under-Emmyed Higher Name Saul in its final go spherical, or perhaps the surging Yellowjackets, and even the by no means nominated on this class, Yellowstone, or its spinoff 1923. There are literally so many potentialities and prime notch contenders and we focus on all of them.
