Comedy Series: Hacking Our Way Through Emmy’s Comedy Race

We look at the contentious Comedy Series Emmy race where any number of series could fill the final few nominee slots.

We’ve broken down the Drama Series 2025 Emmy race. We looked at the weaker Limited Series Emmy field. Now, it’s time for Comedy Series. Much like Drama, Comedy boasts five near-guaranteed contenders: Hacks, The Bear, Abbott Elementary, Only Murders In the Building, and The Studio. After that, it’s a wide-open field. The Residence, Shrinking, Nobody Wants This, and other series all offer narratives that could lead to a comedy series nomination. Using Megan’s recent analysis piece as a springboard, we talk through several possibilities as to which comedy series can complete this year’s comedy race nominees.

We close our podcast with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

If you haven’t heard it yet, take a listen to our spin-off series, Desperate Housewives Revisited, where Joey and Clarence look back at the first season of Marc Cherry’s 2004 phenomenon.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
