What is new for the 2026 Emmys?
In January, the Television Academy announced that its Board of Governors had merged the outstanding scripted variety series category and the outstanding talk series category into one outstanding variety series category, due to the reduced number of submissions.
Additionally, the name of the outstanding television movie category has been changed to outstanding movie to reflect the evolving landscape of cinematic content created for broadcast or streaming. Changes have also been made to the short form, sound mixing, and music categories, and the casting, costume and lighting, and camera and technical arts categories have been expanded.
Who is nominated for the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards?
The first two categories were announced Wednesday morning.
