Deadline has the scoop: https://deadline.com/2022/06/tv-academy-eliminates-hanging-episode-rule-2023-competition-1235036537/
“The Hanging Episode Rule currently allows a series (including Limited/Anthology series) that premieres current-season episodes after the May 31 eligibility deadline, but prior to the start of nomination-round voting, to post those episodes on a platform available to Academy members by May 31 for episode eligibility in the current Emmy competition.
“Beginning with the next eligibility year (June 1, 2022-May 31, 2023), the Hanging Episode Rule has been eliminated; only episodes that premiere on a platform available to a national audience by May 31 will be Emmy-eligible. The Academy has made the change to standardize all submissions within the eligibility year.
Complete rules for Series and Limited/Anthology Series eligibility beginning with 2023 Emmys:
*The required number of episodes from a series must premiere nationally by May 31 to be eligible in the current Emmy competition. (Six episodes are required for series in animation, comedy, drama, variety, short form and reality categories. Three episodes are required for documentary series and hosted nonfiction series).
*If a series premieres within the current Emmy eligibility year but doesn’t have the required number of nationally premiered episodes to qualify for its category, the series, along with the individual achievements, would gain eligibility in the subsequent Emmy competition.
*If a series qualifies in the current eligibility year, but has additional episodes from its current season premiering after May 31, those episodes will gain Emmy eligibility with the series’ subsequent season.
*If the series doesn’t return in the subsequent Emmy competition, those episodes would be eligible as single “orphaned” episodes in certain individual achievement categories. Submission for a body of work (including series and acting categories) would not be eligible under the “orphaned” episodes rule.
Limited/Anthology Series
Reply
*All episodes/parts of a limited/anthology series must premiere nationally by May 31 to be eligible in the current Emmy competition.
*If all episodes/parts do not premiere within the current eligibility year, the complete limited series, along with the individual achievements, would gain eligibility in the subsequent Emmy competition.
This post was found to be inappropriate by the moderators and has been removed.Wasn’t this the previous rule that allowed those THT s2 episodes to be nommed?
No, that’s the orphan episodes rule. Hanging episodes rule is to make episodes of a season eligible if they are available on the TV Academy plataform before May 31st even tho they are gonna air in the first two weeks of June before voting starts.
The orphan episodes rule is for episodes of a season that will air after May 31st AND after the voting begins. If these “orphan episodes” together make a total of 6 or more episodes then they may be entered as a new season of the show.
ReplyCopy URLIt's about the chaotic editing in Moulin Rouge!
It doesn’t go into effect this year, but if it did, it would have a huge impact on the Limited Series categories. The Staircase, Under the Banner of Heaven., The First Lady, The Offer and Gaslit would all be ineligible this year and get pushed to next year.
good thing then. the category is meh as it is.
If this rule was in effect a few years ago, and THT did not move its dates, we’d have a weird set each year:

1.1-1.8
1.9, 1.10, 2.1-2.7
2.8-2.13 (so it would have been able to compete as a series after all)
S3 normal.
4.1-4.7
4.8-4.10…possibly moved to 2022-2023 with S5?
