2023 Emmy Predictions: Drama, Comedy, Limited Series & TV Movie


A collage of some of the series nominated
ABC | Hulu | HBO | Netflix

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to be presented January 6-15, 2024 (yes, we share your pain). Below you can find our predictions in all the main categories for drama, comedy, limited series and TV movies. And since we love TV over here, in addition to the predicted winners, there's also the ''should win'' category for shows, performers and filmmakers that we have seen and would love to recognise. Browse through them and perhaps you'll also find some help for your own predictions (or something to add to your watchlist).
