The Next Best Series Podcast returns as Ema Sasic, Nadia Dalimonte, and Amy Kim join me to discuss our reactions to the 2026 Primetime Emmy Award nominations. Recorded later that evening (after our morning live reactions were recorded), we watched as “Hacks” made history, “The Pitt” led, “Beef” continued to dominate, but “Widow’s Bay,” “Pluribus,” and “DTF St. Louis” are right on their heels, looking to upset. What were the big surprises and misses? And how do we feel about the races at this stage? Please tune in as we go over the key races for this year’s nominations. It’s a long couple of weeks until September 14th, when the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held, but we’ll be with you every step of the way! As always, thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy this reaction episode.
