What better way to celebrate 250 years of American history than by talking about the upcoming Emmy nominations? That’s right. As of time of this recording, we were just four days away from the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations set to be announced Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at 11:30 A.M. EST, where we’ll celebrate the best television has to offer from June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2026.
We have new shows, returning favorites, and series finales to discuss, so it’s a packed episode as we deliver our final Emmy nomination predictions for the Drama Series, Comedy Series, and Limited Series categories, along with their respective lead, supporting, and guest acting races. Altogether, that’s sixteen acting categories.
Throughout our discussion, we also work in our writing and directing predictions for each section to help strengthen our arguments for each show’s overall performance. It’s a lot of ground to cover, especially since this is our very first Emmy predictions episode, so we brought in a couple of TV gurus to help navigate this awards-season terrain.
