‘The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live’ Not Eligible for Emmys’ Limited Series Category, Will Submit as Drama (EXCLUSIVE)


"The Walking Dead" spinoff "The Ones Who Live" is ineligible to submit for limited or anthology series at the Emmys. Will compete as drama.

The cable network had announced plans to submit the six-episode spinoff, created by Scott M. Gimple, Danai Gurira, and Andrew Lincoln, for outstanding limited or anthology series at the Primetime Emmys. According to the Academy’s ruling at the time, “the reappearance in a subsequent ‘season’ of one character from a large ensemble does not prohibit eligibility based on the main criteria for limited series.” Gurira, who penned the emotionally charged fourth episode titled “What We,” will now compete for lead drama actress and writing alongside Michael Slovis, who is submitting for directing.
