The upcoming 2022 Emmys will be the third in a row where there will be no chance of back-to-back Best Drama Series victories: reigning champ “The Crown” did not release new episodes during the eligibility window of June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2022. However, the prize could likely still go to a series that has already won it, since “Succession” is back in the running two years after triumphing for its second season. Scroll down to see our 2022 Emmy predictions for Best Drama Series.
The only two 2021 drama nominees that are eligible again this year are “Bridgerton” and “This Is Us,” the latter of which concluded in May after six seasons. Three of their five other recent competitors – “The Boys,” “The Mandalorian,” and 2017 winner “The Handmaid’s Tale” – did not return in time. The remaining two – “Lovecraft Country” and “Pose” – ended their runs in October 2020 and June 2021 respectively.
