Final Emmy Predictions: Bear With Us, the Shō Must Go Un


The conjectures (welcome, Shōgun), shoo-ins (welcome back, The Bear), and long shots (justice for Reservation Dogs!) of the 2024 TV awards race.

On the outskirts sit a surprising number of shows that deal with aliens (Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, Disney+’s Loki, Paramount’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; Apple’s Sugar), at least one on the brink of cancellation( Tokyo Vice), and that rarest of all things, a network drama ( Elsbeth). Alas, I’ll probably never get my wish of an all-queer lineup of Yang, Clemons-Hopkins, Joel Kim Booster ( Loot), Ricky Martin ( Palm Royale), David Hyde Pierce ( Julia), Brandon Scott-Jones ( Ghosts), and Harvey Guillen ( What We Do in the Shadows), but I can dream. Netflix’s handsomely rendered Ripley basically screams award nominations (though the deliberate, creeping series would never be quite so loud), a trend that continues through shows like Apple’s meticulous 1960s-set Lessons in Chemistry and World War II drama Masters of the Air.
