When TV academy voters sit down to fill out their 2022 Emmy nominations ballots, they have to consider 118 shows for Best Comedy Series; this is up by 50 contenders from last year. Since 2017, voters have not had to limit their choices to just 10 shows. The TV academy tells its members to “vote for as many achievements in this category that you have seen and feel are worthy of a nomination.”
Reigning Best Comedy Series winner “Ted Lasso” is back to try and defend its title, while six of its seven 2021 rivals have shots at redemption since they also aired during the eligibility period of June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. Those half dozen shows are “Black-ish,” “Cobra Kai,” “Emily in Paris,” “The Flight Attendant,” “Hacks,” and “PEN15.” The lone 2021 nominee missing from this ballot is “The Kominsky Method,” which ended its three-season run last May. Also back in the hunt is “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” which took the top prize in 2018.
Remember, only eight of the shows listed below will earn bids for Best Comedy Series when the Emmy Awards nominations are announced on July 12. Which of these laffers do you think will make the cut?
