With a nominations haul of 25, the most-recognized TV program heading into the 74th Primetime Emmys is the HBO drama “Succession.” However these bids don’t even account for one-fifth of the paycaster’s 2022 total, which when combined with those of streamer HBO Max, stands at 140. In all, 16 HBO series and specials earned multiple nominations, with the double-digit contender list also including “The White Lotus” (20), “Hacks” (17), “Euphoria” (16), and “Barry” (14).
Two years after coming out on top with 160 nominations, Netflix takes second this year with 105 (its lowest amount since 2017). Its showing was primarily boosted by the new Korean drama “Squid Game” (14 bids) as well as the respective fourth seasons of “Ozark” and “Stranger Things” (13 bids each).
As usual, the big four traditional broadcast networks have been bested by premium channels and streaming services, as they amassed a combined total of 86 nominations (down by 16 from last year). After dominating this subset for five of the last six years, NBC (28 bids) is in second place behind CBS (29 bids). The Columbia Broadcasting System’s top performers were not series, but rather two specials: “Adele: One Night Only” and “The 64th Annual Grammy Awards.”
Below is a scorecard of how the top TV networks performed in nominations for the 2022 Emmys (with the network tallies for the last seven years included as well for comparison purposes).
