Aside from a handful of locks, this year’s limited series race feels rather limited. We break down potential contenders for the final slots.
When we broke down Emmy’s 2025 drama series race, we ran into something of an embarrassment of riches when trying to fill the final category slots. Not so with the 2025 Emmy limited series race. We do have a handful of sure bets for limited series nominations: Netflix’s Adolescence, MAX’s The Penguin, and FX’s Dying For Sex. Aside from that, disappointments and critically underwhelming contenders remain. Most thought a highly touted 2024 fall festival launch of Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer would catapult it into serious Emmy contention, but does anyone really love it? Or what about that cast in Netflix’s Zero Day which critics loathed? Despite high profile disappointments, that doesn’t mean there aren’t series worthy of nominations. It’s just a little challenging to forecast those final two slots based on what we have now. We take a look at the 2025 limited series Emmy race and try to figure it all out.
But first, Megan previews the upcoming Miami Film Festival, which she will be covering for The Contending.
