Season 5 follows June (Elisabeth Moss) in the aftermath of Commander Waterford’s (Joseph Fiennes) murder and the consequences she must face for her role in the gruesome slaying. At a minimum, she will have to face off with his widow Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), and on some level Gilead. But mainly, she will be forced to redefine her identity and purpose, now forever changed.

Meanwhile, Commander Lawrence (Bradley Whitford) works with Nick (Max Minghella) and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) as he tries to reform Gilead and rise in power. But who knows what the Commander and Nick—who helped June get her hands on...

Last season of The Handmaid’s Tale started and ended with a look from star Elisabeth Moss.

The fifth season of Hulu’s hit dystopian series began with the smirk seen ’round the globe that pit June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) against Serena Joy Waterford (Yvonne Strahovski), and the season came surprisingly full circle when it ended with the same telling expression between the pair as they unexpectedly found themselves alone, yet together, on the same train of Gilead refugees hoping to make it to Vancouver and, eventually, Hawaii.

At the time of that November 2022 finale, Moss, also an executive producer and director on the Emmy-winning tale, told The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s actually a pretty positive ending for the show and the season, which we don’t usually do. It’s a cliffhanger, … but there’s something positive about it. Of course, of all the people that would be on the...

She added that the photos are “from episodes 1 and 2, directed by yours truly, and episode 3, directed by David Lester, all shot by Nicola Daley.”

Adapted from the classic novel by Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States.

Offred (Elisabeth Moss), one of the few fertile women known as Handmaids in the oppressive Republic of Gilead, struggles to survive as a reproductive surrogate for a powerful Commander and his resentful wife.

Fans of The Handmaid’s Tale are in for a real treat. According to Elizabeth Moss we are in for some ‘big and wild’ things the season!

It is also the final season of the show, and according to her definitely has that “final season’s energy which probably means a lot of loose ends will be tied up, or not, but one can hope.

Moss plays June, the protagonist forced to serve as a handmaiden in this totalitarian state called Gilead that has overthrown the US government. June inspired a rebellion that is threatening to take down Gilead once and for all.

At the end of Season 5 we saw June take a flight to Canada after leaving the refuge. Gilead’s uprising has continued to grow in her absence and the threat of it breaking is becoming more and more imminent each day.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” Season 6 has added Timothy Simons to its cast in a guest star role, Variety has learned.

The news comes shortly after it was announced that the sixth and final season of the Hulu series based on the Margaret Atwood novel had gone into production in Toronto. It is slated to debut in spring 2025. Simons’ character on the show is being kept under wraps.

This is Simons’ second announced TV role in recent weeks. Variety exclusively reported that the actor is also set to appear in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 2 at Disney+. He is best known for his role as Jonah Ryan in the award-winning HBO comedy “Veep,” on which he appeared for all of its seven seasons. His other TV credits include “Candy” and “Looking for Alaska” at Hulu, and “Station Eleven” at Max. He will next be seen in the Netflix series “Nobody Wants This,...

Filming on the sixth and final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” has, at long last, begun, Hulu announced on Friday. The network shared a photo of star Elisabeth Moss, who’s also directing and holding a clapboard, with the note that the Emmy-winning series will return in spring of 2025.

It’s been nearly two years since the Season 5 finale and a year-and-a-half since executive producers Erich Tuchman and Yahlin Chang were named co-showrunners for Season 6.

Longtime showrunner and series creator Bruce Miller stepped away from the drama after five seasons to focus on the development of its upcoming sequel series “The Testaments,” which like “Handmaid’s Tale” is based on the book of the same name by Margaret Atwood. It’s set 15 years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Miller is still involved with the final season as an executive producer and writer.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” was the first...

Photo Credit: Hulu Exciting news for fans of the celebrated dystopian series The Handmaid’s Tale: the curtain is rising on its sixth and climactic season, with production already underway. Hulu has delighted viewers by confirming the return of this Emmy-winning saga in the spring of 2025, offering one last journey through the haunting landscape of Gilead. Though specifics about the final season’s plot remain closely guarded, fans can brace for a riveting end to June’s saga. The tense conclusion of Season 5 left us with burning questions, and this upcoming season promises to unravel those mysteries. Will June secure freedom for herself and her daughter? Can the resistance dismantle Gilead’s tyranny? The destinies of the series’ beloved (and reviled) characters hang in the balance. The final chapter will reunite the stellar cast, including Elisabeth Moss, Yvonne Strahovski, Bradley Whitford, Max Minghella, Ann Dowd, O-t Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Madeline Brewer,...

The final season of The Handmaid’s Tale is finally underway.

Hulu on Friday shared an image of series lead Elisabeth Moss holding a slate from the opening day of filming on the show’s sixth and last season. The slate shows that cameras began rolling on Sept. 3 — and that Moss is directing the first episode (she previously helmed six episodes across seasons four and five).

The Disney-owned streamer also said that season six will premiere in spring 2025, which will mean about a 2 1/2-year gap between the season five finale, which debuted Nov. 9, 2022, and the final season opener. Production on The Handmaid’s Tale had been scheduled to resume in fall 2023 but was pushed back as striking writers and actors negotiated for, and eventually won, better contracts with media companies. Lining up schedules for the show’s cast further moved the start date to this week.

Season five ended with a cliffhanger...

The Handmaid’s Tale is officially back in production on its sixth and final season.

Hulu revealed Friday that cameras began rolling on the series’ conclusion on September 3, sharing a photo of series star Elisabeth Moss holding the slate for the first scene of Episode 1, which she will also be directing.

Along with the production announcement, Hulu also said that Season 6 will debut in spring 2025.

The final chapter of the Emmy-winning Hulu series originally was to begin production in 2023 for a fall 2024 premiere, but that schedule, of course, was delayed by the strikes.

Season 5 follows June (Elisabeth Moss) in the aftermath of Commander Waterford’s (Joseph Fiennes) murder and the consequences she must face for her role in the gruesome slaying. At a minimum, she will have to face off with his widow Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), and on some level Gilead. But mainly, she will be forced to redefine her identity and purpose,...

Over the course of five seasons, we’ve watched June’s journey to escape Gilead in The Handmaid’s Tale. The series has certainly grown from what it originally started, which was about surviving this horrific world. It’s become one about the different individual journeys for handmaids, Marthas, and wives.

The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 is officially the end. While the Hulu series is popular, it certainly needed to wrap things up. This is one that couldn’t just get an abrupt ending, and it needed time to plan the closure. That’s what it has.

Filming is only just starting up, and here’s what we know about this final season.

Bruce Miller has stepped down as showrunner of The Handmaid’s Tale

Bruce Miller has been with this show since Day 1. It seems shocking to many that he would step down as the showrunner for the final season, but...

Snowpiercer is a post-apocalyptic dystopian thriller film created by Josh Friedman and Graeme Manson. Based on a 2013 film of the same name by director Bong Joon-ho, the TNT and now AMC series is set in a frozen wasteland of a world with the only survivors living on a perpetually moving train, where class warfare runs rampant and the politics of survival is deadly to learn. Snowpiercer stars Jennifer Connelly and Daveed Diggs in the lead roles with Rowan Blanchard, Sean Bean, Alison Wright, Annalise Basso, Mickey Sumner, Lena Hall, and Susan Park starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the post-apocalypse, intense drama, and complex characters in Snowpiercer here are some similar shows you should check out next.

Based on the merits of its first two seasons, Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” was nominated for three of the four regular drama series acting Emmys, with its lone elusive category having been the supporting female one. Now, following its submission of seven featured ladies on the initial 2024 Emmy ballot, it has simultaneously scored a whopping four Best Drama Supporting Actress mentions, joining only three other series that have done the same or better.

The supporting actresses representing “The Morning Show” on this year’s final Emmy ballot are Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, and Holland Taylor. Only Pittman has been part of the cast since the show’s inception, as Lee and Taylor first appeared in season two and Beharie was just added ahead of season three. All are Emmy newcomers except Taylor, whose eight earlier nominations led to a single win in this category for “The Practice...

Another series regular has been added to the sixth and final season of The Handmaid’s Tale. Josh Charles (above) has joined the Hulu series, per Deadline. However, no details about his role have been released.

Elisabeth Moss, Bradley Whitford, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, O-t Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Ann Dowd, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, and Sam Jaeger star in the series based on the novel by Margaret Atwood.

Spoilers for all of "Orange is the New Black" ahead.

"Orange is the New Black" is among the most important shows of the 2010s. It was not only one of the first series to establish the binge model as a viable release format — for better or worse — but it was also groundbreaking thanks to its diverse cast and the massive range of storylines it juggled at any given time. At its best, the show was riveting, funny, heartfelt, and bold. At its worst, it was still a fun time.

Most notably, few shows have ever felt so distinct from season to season. Season 1 was the fun fish-out-of-water comedy centering firmly around Piper (Taylor Schilling). Season 2 was a riveting prison drama centered largely on the Black inmates like Taystee (Danielle Brooks), Poussey (Samira Wiley), and Suzanne (Uzo Aduba). Season 3 was a surprisingly relaxed, lighthearted period, while season 4 took a brutal turn in the other direction,...

Oscar winner Adrien Brody is set to make his London theater debut with The Fear of 13, a new play by Lindsey Ferrentino (Ugly Lies the Bone). Directed by Justin Martin, The Fear of 13 will run from October 4 through November 30 at the Donmar Warehouse.

Based on the 2015 documentary film by David Sington, The Fear of 13 is the true story of Nick Yarris who in the early 1980s was charged with the kidnapping and attempted murder of a police officer in Pennsylvania. He was acquitted, but while awaiting trial became a suspect in a different case and was convicted of the abduction, rape and murder of a young woman and sentenced to death. He spent 22 years on death row in Pennsylvania and was released in 2004 when DNA evidence established his innocence.

The logline from the Donmar reads: “Nick’s got a story to tell you.

Apple TV’s flagship series “The Morning Show” returned last fall with its third season and with it comes the show’s best cast to date. Nicole Beharie, Jon Hamm, Tig Notaro, and Stephen Fry all joined the cast while mainstays Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Billy Crudup all turned in their best work yet.

However, it’s the show’s supporting players, who have been here since day one, that makes the series so good. Karen Pittman is a prime example of that. The series depicts the behind-the-scenes drama of a US morning TV show and Pittman plays Mia Jordan, a key producer of said show. Pittman has always been an actress who possesses a powerful screen presence and that is true here, too. She captivates audiences (and the other actors) but also smartly sews vulnerability into a character who has some power in the show.

A longtime recurring member of The Handmaid’s Tale cast has been promoted for the final season. Ever Carradine will be a series regular for season six. Her character, Naomi Putnam, has appeared in 20 episodes of the dystopian drama since the Hulu series launched in 2017.

The Handmaid’s Tale series, which stars Elisabeth Moss, Bradley Whitford, Yvonne Strahovski, Max Minghella, O-t Fagbenle, Samira Wiley, Ann Dowd, Madeline Brewer, Amanda Brugel, and Sam Jaeger, is based on Margaret Atwood's novel of the same name. The story is set in a world where fertility rates have collapsed due to pollution and sexually transmitted diseases. Women who can still become pregnant are kept as prisoners and used to bring more babies into the world.

“The Good Wife” introduced Carrie Preston‘s Elsbeth Tascioni back in 2010. She was so popular with fans that she also featured in the spin-off show “The Good Fight.” Now Preston and Elsbeth take center stage in the brand new spin-off “Elsbeth.”

CBS’ hit drama series follows Elsbeth as she carries out work as an unconventional attorney and helps the NYPD catch criminals with her astute observations. Preston was excellent in her guest role in “The Good Wife” but she is even better here as the main course, as critics have noted.

Ben Travers (Indie Wire) observed: “Preston knows the exact pitch at which to play Elsbeth. Never grating yet always pesky, her unrelenting positivity (and general relentlessness) would undoubtedly get old, fast, in real life. Cops and criminals alike are exhausted by her, but audiences can more easily appreciate her dogged demeanor because a) we know she’s on the right track,...

Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery), and Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange Is the New Black) are to star in the newly unveiled Sky original series Atomic.

The five-part “dynamic and action-fueled adventure” series will follow Max (Allen) and Mohammed (Latif) two unlikely friends who become swept up in a cartel’s plot to transport uranium across North Africa and soon face an enormous decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bomb falling into the wrong hands.

Pursued by Cassie Elliott (Wiley), a highly-skilled CIA agent, along with MI6 and a network of traffickers, Max and Mohammed find themselves, for once, having to be the good guys.

The show, from Gangs of London producer Pulse Films, is written by Gregory Burke (‘71, Entebbe, Rebus) and directed by Shariff Korver (Temple, Do Not Hesitate).

Filming will commence this month in Morocco on the series, in which Max (Allen) and Mohammed (Latif), two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel’s plot to transport uranium across North Africa.

Jennifer Hudson and Orville Peck are among some of the top honorees for the East Coast gala ceremony date of the 2024 GLAAD Media Awards, which honors the best of LGBTQ representation in media, the arts, and culture.

This year marks the 35th annual awards...

More than a decade after winning a guest acting Emmy for her work as quirky lawyer Elsbeth Tascioni on CBS’s “The Good Wife,” Carrie Preston is now seeking lead category recognition for reprising the character on the same network’s “Elsbeth.” If she is included the upcoming Best Drama Actress lineup, she will make Emmys history as the first performer ever nominated as a lead for a winning dramatic guest role.

Preston was awarded the 2013 Best Drama Guest Actress Emmy for her seventh of 14 “Good Wife” appearances, which were spread over six seasons. After landing a second bid for that series in 2016, she showed up in five episodes of the Paramount+ spinoff “The Good Fight,” with her last appearance occurring one month before the series finale in November 2022. “Elsbeth” premiered this February and has already been renewed for a second season.

At this point, only three performers (all women...

Jennifer Hudson and Orville Peck will be honored at the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York on May 11.

GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, has announced that that two-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Academy Award-winning actress, and Tony and Emmy Award-winning producer, and host of the Emmy-Nominated “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” Jennifer Hudson will receive GLAAD’s Excellence in Media Award and groundbreaking country artist Orville Peck will receive the Vito Russo Award at the 35th Annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York, which will be hosted by Emmy-winning television host and producer, Ross Mathews.

GLAAD’s Excellence in Media Award is presented to allies who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people. Previous Excellence in Media Award honorees include Marren Morris, Judith Light, Ava DuVernay, Patti Labelle, Debra Messing, Tyra Banks, Julianne Moore, Barbara Walters Diane Sawyer and more.

GLAAD is putting the finishing touches on the program for its East Coast awards gala by confirming Jennifer Hudson and Orville Peck for top honors and media personality Ross Mathews to front the affair as host.

The GLAAD Media Awards — set for May 11 at the Hilton Midtown — will honor Hudson with an excellence in media award while country artist Peck will take home a Vito Russo award.

“A multihyphenate talent who uses her platform and influence across media to support and uplift LGBTQ people, Jennifer Hudson’s allyship is thoughtful, loud and powerful,” said GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis.

Exclusive: Monarch Media, 11-time Emmy winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Point Grey Pictures, Lylas Pictures and Giant Ant Films are teaming to bring Sarah Leavitt’s graphic novel Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me, to the big screen as a feature-length animated film.

Along with Louis-Dreyfus, the cast includes Abbi Jacobson, Bryan Cranston, Samira Wiley, Beanie Feldstein, Seth Rogen, Wanda Sykes, Bowen Yang, Pamela Adlon and Sarah Silverman.

In Tangles, when Alzheimer’s disease begins to strip away her mother’s vibrant personality, a headstrong young woman is forced to return to her oddball family in the conservative small town she recently fled in order to care for her. She quickly realizes she must accept the cruel and warped reality of the disease — and the imperfect beauty of her family — in order to become the daughter they need.

Leavitt adapted her novel for film along with Trev Renney and Leah Nelson.

Best Drama Supporting Actress is the only Emmy acting category “The Morning Show” has yet to crack, but it’s now the one the series could dominate like only one other show has managed to. Nicole Beharie, Greta Lee, Julianna Margulies, Karen Pittman and Holland Taylor are all eligible for the Apple TV+ drama in the category this year, and if they all make the cut, “The Morning Show” will join “The White Lotus: Sicily” as the only shows to nab five drama supporting actress nominations in a single year.

“The White Lotus: Sicily” set the record last year with bids for Meghann Fahy, Sabrina Impacciatore, Aubrey Plaza, Simona Tabasco and eventual champ Jennifer Coolidge. Before that, the record for a series in the category was four nominees in one year, which only two shows had been able to field: “Game of Thrones” in 2019 and “The Handmaid’s Tale” in 2021.

During the 2022 Creative Arts and Primetime Emmys ceremonies, two vastly different age records were broken as the acting victors accepted their prizes. First, 28-year-old Lee Yoo-mi (“Squid Game”) supplanted Samira Wiley as the youngest recipient of either drama guest award, and then Jean Smart (70) improved upon her own oldest comedy actress winner record by clinching a second consecutive trophy for “Hacks.” With one age record having already been smashed at last weekend’s Creative Arts Awards, five more are up for grabs heading into the big primetime show.

Firstly, congratulations are in order for newly crowned Best Drama Guest Actress champ Storm Reid (“The Last of Us”), who, at 20, went from being her category’s third youngest nominee to its youngest winner. In fact, she is the all-time youngest recipient of any guest acting Emmy, also taking that distinction from Lee, who in turn usurped Justin Timberlake. Two more “The Last of Us...

“Succession” has made Emmy history with its three lead actors, Brian Cox, Kieran Culkin and Jeremy Strong, all earning nominations for lead actor in a drama — the most nods ever for a single show.

Since the show’s premiere in 2018, the first three seasons of “Succession” have received 13 Emmys out of 48 nominations.

Strong won the lead actor Emmy in 2020 and was also nominated in 2020, beating his co-star Cox both years. This year marks Culkin’s first lead actor nomination, and he was up for supporting actor in 2020 and 2022.

Last year, “Succession” made Emmy history for the most acting nods ever, with 14 acting nominations out of 25 total nods. Culkin, Nicholas Braun and winner Matthew Macfadyen were all up for supporting actor in a drama in 2022, while J. Smith-Cameron and Sarah Snook were both nominated for supporting actress.

While the “Succession” trio has made history for lead actor in a drama, the...

Ann Dowd is looking to make an Emmys comeback with perhaps her most complex take on Aunt Lydia yet in the most recent season of Hulu’s awards-favorite “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

Based on Margaret Atwood‘s book of the same name, the show follows a dystopian future wherein a totalitarian society named Gilead has taken power and women are forced into child-bearing slavery. The series features Elisabeth Moss in the lead role while there are plenty of excellent supporting players including Yvonne Strahovski, Alexis Bledel, Samira Wiley, and the fearsome Dowd.

Dowd plays the brutal, iron-willed Aunt Lydia, who is one of the staunchest believers in Gilead and who will go to any means necessary to keep the women she is in charge of in place. She is violent, brutish, and terrifying to behold as she commands the screen and everyone around her. In season five, however, cracks begin to...

Die Spannung steigt, als ich mich hinsetze, um mit Schauspielerin und Ikone der queeren Community Samira Wiley über eine ganz besondere Kollaboration zu sprechen: Ein 152 Zentimeter hohes Portrait von Wiley, das komplett aus Lego® Steinen und Elementen geschaffen wurde. Das Portrait ist der Auftakt eines Projekts, das die vielfältigen, individuellen Facetten unserer Persönlichkeit feiert und dazu aufruft, diese durch spielerisches und kreatives Gestalten selbst zu entdecken.

„Es enthält ein paar interessante Details.”, sagt Wiley grinsend über ihr Portrait. „Manche davon erkennt man nur, wenn man sich im selben Raum befindet.

Une vague d’excitation m’envahit lorsque je m’assois pour interviewer l’actrice et icône queer Samira Wiley à propos d’une collaboration qui a vu le jour dans mon paradis gay : un portrait géant de Wiley d’un mètre cinquante de haut, entièrement réalisé en briques Lego®. Il a été conçu pour lancer une campagne incitant au jeu et à la créativité afin d’explorer qui nous sommes et célébrer notre identité.

« Il y a des images amusantes là-dedans » dit Wiley en souriant. « Des choses...

A surge of excitement rushes as I sit down to interview actor and queer icon, Samira Wiley, about a collaboration made in my own personal gay heaven: a 5-foot tall portrait of Wiley, created entirely from Lego bricks. The portrait was created to kickstart a campaign encouraging the use of play and creative expression, to explore who we are and celebrate our identity.

“There’s some fun visuals in there.” Wiley grins. “Things you wouldn’t know unless you were in the room with us.” Her smile is as electric as her personality,...

Every so often, you come across a curious Emmys stat that just grabs your attention. This year, we noticed Emmy voters’ love for variety in one specific category — Best Drama Actor.

In this category, the last eight years have given us eight new, different winners for different shows. They are, in descending order: last year’s winner Lee Jung-jae (“Squid Game”), Josh O’Connor, Jeremy Strong, Billy Porter, Matthew Rhys, Sterling K. Brown, Rami Malek, and Jon Hamm. Bryan Cranston won in 2014 for “Breaking Bad” — he’d already won for the same show in 2008, 2009, and 2010.

So, there you have it. That’s a run of eight years where this Emmy has gone to a different performer and a different show. In that timeframe, there has been no overlap in terms of the same actor winning, nor has the same show won for different actors. Complete newness across the board for eight years.

Students at Boston University will have to cross a Writers Guild picket line to attend their May 21 graduation ceremony, where Warner Bros. Discovery President & CEO David Zaslav, an alumnus of the school, will be making the commencement address.

The guild previously had warned the school that its members would picket there if he were allowed to speak, but Bu officials decided to let him give his address anyway.

On Thursday, the guild said: “The Writers Guild of America will picket Warner Bros. Discovery President & CEO David Zaslav at Boston University’s All-Student Commencement Exercises at Nickerson Field on Sunday, May 21, 2023, beginning at 12:00 p.m. Edt.”

After yesterday’s Imagine Dragons party outside Netflix, it was Paramount’s turn to pop.

Around 900 picketers flooded the streets near Melrose supporting the WGA West’s Committee of Black Writers.

These included stars such as Samira Wiley, Gabby Sidibe, Kendrick Sampson and Robin Thede.

Precious star Sidibe told Deadline, “I am striking with the writers because if they don’t work, I can’t work”, while Orange Is The New Black star Wiley said she was on the picket line to support her writer wife, Lauren Morelli. “My house is a two union household,” she added.

Thede, creator and star of HBO’s A Black Lady Sketch Show, warned the studios to “stop being cheap”. “I’m striking because paying writers a day rate is an abomination. We are still professionals and we deserve to be paid that way,” she added.

After cutting two episodes helmed by Elisabeth Moss — including the actor’s directorial debut, “The Crossing” — in the fourth season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Wendy Hallam Martin collaborated with the series star once again in the Hulu drama’s fifth installment. Of the four episodes the Emmy-winning editor cut this season, Moss directed three, including the opening two hours, “Morning” and “Ballet.” While Martin did her fair share of preparation ahead of the fifth season to ensure she could draw viewers back into the intense situation on which the fourth one had left off, it is Moss’ vision, she highlights, that ultimately set the tone for the premiere.

“[Moss] comes on and absolutely kills it and has a vision herself,” Martin tells Gold Derby during a recent webchat (watch the exclusive video interview above). “I mean, I watch all my dailies, from top to bottom, and her vision is very apparent in her footage.

Typically at the Emmy Awards, a TV show is judged on a full season as it aired entirely within a single eligibility period. However, in extremely rare cases, a drama or comedy will have what’s known as “orphaned” episodes that air outside of the cut-off date. That’s exactly why Season 4 of The Duffer Brothers‘ sci-fi megahit “Stranger Things” is eligible in two consecutive Emmy cycles, last year and this year. Gold Derby has exclusively learned which 13 categories Netflix is submitting for consideration at the 2023 Emmys (see below).

To recap, the first seven episodes of “Stranger Things 4” streamed on May 27, 2022 and thus competed at last year’s Emmys, where it nabbed 13 nominations and won five. But the last two episodes streamed on July 1, 2022, a full month after the eligibility period ended. TV academy rules stipulate that those two orphaned episodes are now eligible at the 2023 Emmys, but with a catch.
