Is Shōgun the Limited Series to Beat?


A surprisingly stacked category presents platforms with some tough decision this Emmy season.

Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks’s FX series just wrapped a phenomenal ten episodes, sticking the landing and leaving critics and fans appreciative of the closed-loop finale but also quietly clamoring for the show to find a way to continue. Outside those three powerhouse platforms, there’s Apple TV+, which has a plethora of contenders in all the Emmy genres and whose Limited Series hopefuls are led by the Brie Larson–starring Lessons in Chemistry and the aforementioned, handsomely mounted World War II flyboys drama Masters of the Air. In terms of performances to watch out for in the Limited categories as the season progresses, there’s also Jonathan Bailey and/or Matt Bomer in Fellow Travelers; Jon Hamm, Juno Temple, and Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fargo; Tom Hollander and Naomi Watts in Feud; Lily Gladstone for Under the Bridge;and of course, the man who never misses with Emmy, Mr. Monk himself, Tony Shalhoub.
