The Emmy Revolution: History-Making Wins and Shakeups Set the Stage for a Madcap 2025 Race
In his final Awards Circuit column of the 2024 Emmy season, Michael Schneider looks ahead to how historic wins have shaken up next year's race.
Why, here you go: “Fargo” star Lamorne Morris beat Robert Downey Jr. (“The Sympathizer”), while “The Bear”’s Liza Colón-Zayas took down Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”) and Carol Burnett (“Palm Royale”). With “Shōgun” not returning, the drama race once again shifts — and attention will be back on new seasons of heavy hitters like “House of the Dragon,” “Severance” and “Squid Game.” Also on deck for 2025 — it’s just a question of when — are “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus.” Shows on the rise include “Slow Horses,” which may be even more of a force next year. Both the drama and comedy races will have room for new entrants, given the end of the line for “The Crown,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Reservation Dogs.” But with a crunch of new and returning shows finally making their way to TV this fall (the result of so many being delayed due to the Hollywood strikes), the competition will be fierce.
