Emmys Firsts and Lasts: Which New Shows Are Serious Contenders — and Can They Beat Those Vying for One Last Trophy?


"Nobody Wants This," "Paradise" and more freshman series will face series taking one last final bow at the Emmys.

James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson are unmatched supporting characters, as is newcomer Nicole Brydon Bloom; the always great Gerald McRaney also holds his own as a guest star. Apple TV+ has numerous new shows in the race, including “ Your Friends & Neighbors,” which is giving Jon Hamm the spotlight he’s earned, and “ Presumed Innocent.” While the latter streamed earlier in the Emmy window, Jake Gyllenhaal and Ruth Negga’s performances were memorable enough that breaking in isn’t impossible. Over in the comedy category, where it’s been all things “Hacks” vs. “The Bear” vs. “Abbott Elementary,” Netflix is rolling in with two heavy hitters: “Nobody Wants This” and “The Four Seasons.” While the former became a smash hit for the streamer, the latter just debuted — at the perfect time.
