With Atlanta only in 2021, and Barry and Russian Doll apparently not returning in the first half of the year, I would bet for now on veterans who have already been nominated in the past:

– The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (Season 3 was nominated on PGA, DGA, WGA and SAG, so I would bet on it as the favorite at the moment)
– Schitt’s Creek (last season…[Read more]

So at the Emmys 2020, in Drama, HBO will have:
