Fans of sci-fi and genre programming have plenty of cheer for when Primetime Emmy Awards are handed out on September 12. Netflix’s Squid Game and Stranger Things, Apple TV+’s Severance, and Showtime’s Yellowjackets all got (well-deserved) Best Drama Series nominations, as well as multiple acting nominations, alongside more traditional nominees such as Succession, Ozark, and Euphoria.

Over on the comedy side, FX’s What We Do in the Shadows got a Best Comedy Series nomination, making it the lone genre contender in the category along with Ted Lasso, Only Murders in the Building, Barry, Hacks, and others. The excellent HBO Max sci-fi adaptation Station Eleven got seven nominations total, the biggest being cast member Himesh Patel as lead actor, while the Disney+ film Chip ’n Dale: Rescue Rangers was nominated for best TV Movie.

On the technical side, Disney+’s Marvel Studios show Moon Knight got a very impressive eight nominations, all technical, besting programs like Better Call Saul and Abbott Elementary overall. Loki got six and The Book of Boba Fett got four, as did Star Trek: Picard, while Cobra Kai, Foundation, Arcane, and Hawkeye all got two.

Of course, those are but a small sampling of the full awards, of which there are over 100 categories. We won’t list them all here but you can head to the Emmy website to see them. That’s where all the Moon Knight nominations are, Loki, Boba Fett, etc.—all the technical categories.

A few genre shows that checked in with one nomination include Cowboy Bebop (for its main titles), The Man Who Fell to Earth (for visual effects), Peacemaker (for stunt coordination but not main titles, somehow), Russian Doll (for cinematography), and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (for sound editing). See the full list by total, here.
