The State of the Race
Despite “Ted Lasso” Season 3 not being a hit with critics, its core audience still seemed charmed by its possibly final run of episodes. The Jason Sudeikis-led series, which has won Outstanding Comedy Series twice in a row, is primed to have another strong showing at the 2023 Emmys—especially if it really is ending.
The sports comedy’s effect on the TV Academy looms so large that there is now an expectation for “Shrinking,” a more modest hit for Apple TV+ from super producer Bill Lawrence, “Ted Lasso” writer/star Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel, will make it into the big Comedy categories at this year’s Emmys as well. It certainly helps that the show takes partial credit for Harrison Ford’s current career revamp.
Because the TV Academy’s Comedy tastes tend to go broad, there is a high chance ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” will once again show out with Emmy voters. It would even be the pick to win if the stakes weren’t so high surrounding “Ted Lasso” ending. The broadcast comedy even picked up a Peabody Award this year, as did the final season of FX’s “Atlanta,” and Netflix gem “Mo.”
Still, the show most likely to shake up the Comedy categories is FX dramedy “The Bear,” which has collected a few awards already for lead Jeremy Allen White, and even supporting actress Ayo Edebiri. The only real knock against it for the Outstanding Comedy Series itself is that, like “Barry” (another top contender here), it serves more tension than hilarity.
Netflix series “Wednesday” is another newcomer in the Emmy conversation, with the thought that its massive success is too big to ignore, but it is still a challenge to break into the category when there are some maybe shows that have been nominated before coming back into contention, like “Only Murders in the Building” (Hulu), “What We Do in the Shadows” (FX), and the celebrated final season of past winner “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” (Prime Video).

Last Year’s Winner: “Ted Lasso”
Still Eligible: Yes.
Hot Streak: Should “Ted Lasso” score a third consecutive Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy, it would not break any major records, but it would put the Apple TV+ hit in the same league as other beloved sitcoms like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Taxi,” and “30 Rock,” which also won the category three times in a row.
Notable Ineligible Series: “Hacks” (Season 3 was not eligible); “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (Season 12 was not eligible); “Black-ish” (ended)
