Praise be, indeed! The third season of “The Handmaid’s Tale” may be sitting out the Emmy cycle due to its June 5 premiere date, but the Hulu series is still on the Emmy nominating ballot in 18 different categories this year — for the final three episodes of its second season that aired outside of last year’s eligibility window.
Two of those categories are Best Drama Writing and Directing, which would be the only races “Handmaid’s” could show up in at the main ceremony. That’s because these three “orphaned episodes” are exclusively eligible in categories that recognize individual episodes, preventing lead and supporting actors, as well as the series itself, from entering.
