The Emmy Awards ballot lists 213 episodes (from 118 series), so there will be seven nominees this year under the new rules. There were seven for the first time in the category’s history last year:
“Barry” season 2: “ronny/lily” (Alec Berg & Bill Hader) Winner — “Fleabag” season 2: “Episode 1” (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) “The Good Place” season 3 — “Janet(s)” (Josh Siegal & Dylan Morgan) “PEN15” season 1: “Anna Ishii-Peters” (Maya Erskine & Anna Konkle & Stacy Osei-Kuffour) “Russian Doll” season 1: “Nothing in This World is Easy” (Natasha Lyonne) “Russian Doll” season 1: “A Warm Body” (Allison Silverman) “Veep” season 7: “Veep” (David Mandel)
Only “The Good Place” returns to defend its slot. “Better Things,” “Ramy” and “Sex Education” are among those hoping to capitalize on the open field after being snubbed last year. “The Good Place” contends for its series finale, as do “Schitt’s Creek” and “Silicon Valley.” “Schitt’s Creek” seeks its first nomination in...

ABC has given a pilot production commitment to Thicker Than Water, a one-hour dramedy from One Mississippi co-creator/executive producer/star Tig Notaro and co-executive producer Cara Dipaolo, producer Michael McDonald (American Crime) and ABC Studios, where his Stearns Castle is based.
Written by Notaro and Dipaolo loosely inspired by personal experiences, Thicker Than Water centers on a single mother who returns to her Tennessee hometown for her estranged father’s funeral, and finds herself graveside with several strangers who happen to be her half-siblings.
Notaro and partner Stephanie Allynne executive produce via Something Fierce Productions, alongside McDonald via Stearns Castle and Dipaolo.
Notaro and McDonald both hail from Middle America — Notaro grew up in Mississippi and Texas — and had been looking to do a show together that was true to the American experience, not a reflection of the coastal elites. That also is an area ABC has been keen on exploring more of.
