“Succession” planning paid off big time for HBO once again on Emmy nominations day.
The family dynasty drama led the Emmy field pack for the second consecutive year. The series was the cornerstone of HBO’s total tally of 127 nominations, including shows that also ran on the streamer previously known as HBO Max (now just Max). Netflix weighed in with 103 mentions.
“Succession” raked in 27 bids, including a history-making troika of noms in the lead actor drama category for Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong. Last year the series grabbed 25 nominations and went all the way to take the top prize for drama series. Also adding heft to HBO’s tally this year was the acclaimed freshman drama “The Last of Us,” with 24,” and “The White Lotus” at 23.
Netflix’s haul was paced by 13 noms apiece for “Beef” and “Dahmer: Monster — The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” Buzzy new comedy “Wednesday” had a strong showing in its freshman year with 12. “The Crown,” the royal family drama that was crowned top drama series in 2021, weighed in with six noms. Apple TV+ also had a big year with a broad slate of programs delivering a total of 54 noms, including “Ted Lasso” with 21 noms and documentary feature “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie” with seven.
