2024 Emmy Predictions: Best Drama Series
Before making your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Series, take a tour of our photo gallery showcasing the leading contenders. Currently at the top of the heap is “The Crown,” which is looking to repeat its 2021 success in the category now that 2022-2023 winner “Succession” (which ended last May) is out of the race.
Of the eight shows that competed for this prize in 2023, only “The Crown” can do so this year. “Better Call Saul” joins “Succession” in having concluded during the 75th Emmys eligibility window, while ongoing series “Andor,” “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus,” and “Yellowjackets” will not return in time to qualify for the 76th annual honors.
“The Crown” is indeed the lone past nominee in the mix this time, although the list of hopefuls includes a reboot of 1990s nominee “Quantum Leap” and two spin-offs of 1960s contender “Star Trek,” subtitled “Strange New Worlds” and “Discovery.”
Included among the rookie shows looking to take advantage of this wide-open playing field are “The Curse,” “Fallout,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “Sugar,” and “3 Body Problem.”
Also in the running are several programs that have each produced more than one season but have yet to be nominated in this category, such as “The Gilded Age,” “Loki,” “The Morning Show,” and “Slow Horses.”
