And for Outstanding Limited Series, the nominees were Watchmen, Little Fires Everywhere, Mrs. America, Unbelievable, and Unorthodox.
At last year's Emmys, the winners in the top series categories were Game of Thrones and Fleabag, but both shows have since ended. Succession is considered the favorite to take home the top drama award this year, while the comedy series category may be a face-off between The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a previous winner, and Schitt's Creek, a favorite among critics which has concluded its final season.
Jimmy Kimmel will host the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 20. Read the full list of nominees here.
