All 28 classic ‘Star Trek’ episodes that won Emmys: From ‘The Next Generation’ to ‘Discovery’

Despite lasting only three seasons, the original “Star Trek” television series (1966-1969) has spawned multiple successful spinoffs: “Star Trek: The Next Generation” (1987-1994); “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” (1993-1999); “Star Trek: Voyager” (1995-2001); “Star Trek: Enterprise” (2001-2005); “Star Trek: Discovery” (2017-Present); and “Star Trek: Picard” (2020-Present).

The original series was well liked by the TV academy, earning 13 Emmy nominations, including two in a row for Best Drama Series (1967-1968), but unfortunately it never won in any category. Its subsequent spinoffs, however, were all winners, while “The Next Generation” remains the only syndicated series to ever earn a nomination for Best Drama. Scroll down to see every single episode from the “Star Trek” television universe that won Emmy Awards spanning four decades.

“The Next Generation” is by far the biggest winner among “Trek” series, taking home 18 awards over the course of its run, more than all other “Trek” series combined. Still, the four awards apiece won by “Deep Space Nine” and “Enterprise” weren’t too shabby. Neither were the seven won by “Voyager.”

After “Enterprise” it took more than a decade for the “Trek” franchise to return to the airwaves, and in the intervening years the TV landscape exploded with programming on myriad networks and streaming services. The production values of genre shows like “Game of Thrones” and “Westworld” meant there was a lot more competition in the Emmys’ crafts categories when “Discovery” started on CBS All Access in 2017. But that couldn’t keep “Star Trek” from getting back on the board with “Discovery’s” first win for its makeup in 2019.

1 Star Trek: TNG Actor Never Winning An Emmy Is An "Injustice," Says Patrick Stewart

• Patrick Stewart believes it is a major injustice that Brent Spiner, who played Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, never won an Emmy.
• Stewart singles out Brent Spiner's performance in the episode "The Offspring" as particularly impressive, where Data creates an android daughter named Lal.
• Spiner's portrayal of Data, as well as other android characters, showcased his talent and the depth he brought to his character's desire to be human.

Patrick Stewart believes the fact that one particular member of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast never won an Emmy is a "major injustice." Stewart's autobiography, "Making It So: A Memoir," delves into his many years playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation , the four TNG movies that followed, and reprising Jean-Luc as an Admiral in Star Trek: Picard. Stewart rewatched Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes and the films to prepare for writing his memoir, and he was struck by the performances of one of his cast mates.

In "Making It So," Patrick Stewart singles out Brent Spiner's work in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 16, "The Offspring," when Lt. Commander Data built his own android daughter. Lal (Hallie Todd). Stewart is a huge fan of Spiner's acting, although Brent's versatile work was never recognized by the Television Academy for Emmy consideration. Read the excerpt from "Making It So" below:

In "The Offspring," the first episode that Jonathan Frakes ever directed, Data creates an android child whom he names Lal. She assumes the form of a teenage girl, movingly played by Hallie Todd, but she is literally not built to last, and Dta musters something close to genuine human emotion as he watches the life drain out of her. Brent Spiner's performance is staggeringly good - he found new depths to his character's Pinocchio-like predicament of being a human invention who wishes to become human. It's a major injustice to me that Brent has never won an Emmy for playing Data, not to mention the androids Lore and B-4 and the bizarre Soong family of mad scientists.

One Star Trek Episode Convinced Patrick Stewart That Brent Spiner Should've Won An Emmy

The writers of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" had a whole panoply of characters to work with, but they clearly liked Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Lieutenant Commander Data (Brent Spiner) the best. Of the episodes that focus on single members of the ensemble, Picard and Data seemingly had the most, and were usually given stirringly dramatic stories and no small amount of screen time. Picard was an interesting character as he was stern and resolute, and audiences liked to see his unflappable integrity get tested. Data was an interesting character as he was an android aspiring to be more human, despite having no human emotions. Data looked at humanity objectively, and eager Trekkies likely constructed imaginary conversations in their heads as to how they would explain humanity to Data (should they ever meet him).

Spiner's challenge in playing Data was mustering up emotional moments from within the artificial brain of a machine person. Data repeatedly professed that he felt nothing, but he clearly felt impulses toward curiosity, socialization, perplexity, and even justice. This implies emotions of wonderment, loneliness, relief and understanding, and outrage. There were occasional moments when something like an emotional response would break through Data's artificial exterior.

Stewart admires Spiner's performance as Data, an admiration he professes openly in his new autobiography "Making It So: A Memoir."  Indeed, Stewart reflects on one episode in particular — "The Offspring" (March 12, 1990), wherein Data sees his own self-built android daughter die right in front of him. By Stewart's estimation, that episode was proof that Spiner was a great actor. Further Data-adjacent moments throughout additional episodes of "Next Generation" only made Stewart sharply aware that Spiner deserved an Emmy.

'The Offspring'

"The Offspring" saw Data struck by a fit of reproductive pique. One of the conceits of "Next Generation" is that Data is such an advanced machine that recreating him is a near-impossible task. Only Data's creator — the presumed-dead Dr. Noonien Soong — had been able to build an android to Data's exacting specifications. Aiming to defy this notion, Data tries to build an android of his own, effectively constructing a child. Data allows his child to choose its gender and appearance, and he is eager to teach her the ways of humanity. However, Data fines that her brain is not stable and she will break down and die before the episode ends.

Stewart said:

"As I get to the third season, though, I see 'TNG' finding its own footing. In 'The Offspring,' the first episode that Jonathan Frakes ever directed, Data creates an android child whom he names Lal. She assumes the form of a teenage girl, movingly played by Hallie Todd, but she is literally not built to last, and Data musters something close to genuine human emotions as he watches the life drain out of her."

Lal's death scene is heartbreaking and made all the more tragic by the fact that Data can't experience the love a human parent might. An additional conceit of "The Offspring" is that Lal, without Data's intention, has managed to achieve rudimentary emotions of her own, leading to her eventual mental breakdown as well as a disconnect between Lal and her father. Data managed to make a being that could feel more than he could. How tragic.

Into the Spiner-Verse

And that wasn't the only Spiner performance Stewart was impressed by. Prior to "The Offspring," Spiner had already played Lore, who is more or less Data's evil twin. Data and Lore were both constructed by Dr. Soong, with Lore coming first. Lore, however, was given an unstable brain matrix and his ethical subroutines weren't the strongest part of him. He was eager to commit acts of subterfuge and violence. In a later episode, "Brothers" (October 8, 1990), Data and Lore would meet the elderly Dr. Soong, also played by Spiner. Later still, in the 2002 film "Star Trek: Nemesis," Spiner would additionally play an early prototype android named B-4.

Stewart was amazed Spiner never got more awards attention, writing:

"Brent Spiner's performance is staggeringly good — he found new depths to his character's Pinocchio-like predicament of being a human invention who wishes to become human. It's a major injustice to me that Brent has never won an Emmy for playing Data, not to mention the androids Lore and B-4 and the bizarre Soong family of mad scientists."

The bizarre Soong family also eventually incorporated both ancestors and descendants of Dr. Soong throughout "Star Trek: Enterprise" and "Star Trek: Picard."  Data died in "Star Trek: Nemesis" and then died again in the first season of "Picard." In the third season of "Picard," Spiner was brought back as an amalgamated being that incorporated Data, Lore, Lal, Dr. Soong, B-4, and several others all into the same ultra-advanced android brain. He was also altered to look like he was 71 years old. This new Data was essentially a new character. All told, Spiner played seven major characters on "Star Trek."

Injustice indeed.

List of awards and nominations received by Star Trek: The Next Generation

From wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Star Trek: The Next Generation is an American science fiction television program that originally aired from September 1987 to May 1994. It won and was nominated for a variety of awards, including seven Emmy Award nominations for the first season , and a further eight in its second season . It would go on to be nominated a total of 58 times, of which it won a total of nineteen awards. [1] Only one of these nominations was not for a Creative Arts Emmy , which was the nomination for Outstanding Drama Series for the show's seventh season . [2]

• Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Cast member Wil Wheaton was nominated on three occasions for a Youth in Film Award , [3] [4] which he won in 1989 . [5] Further nominations were received by guest actors Kimberly Cullum and Gabriel Damon at the 16th Youth in Film Awards in 1995. [6] The only other nomination for a single actor was the Screen Actors Guild Award received by Patrick Stewart for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series in the award's inaugural session in 1995. [7]

As of January 1, 2013, Star Trek: The Next Generation has been nominated for 85 different awards, of which it has won 31. Despite the series ending in 1994, it has continued to win awards in special recognition of the series, [8] and for the DVD releases. [9] In this list, "year" refers to the year the award was presented to the winner.

Background information [ ]

Jeri Taylor with Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner on the set of "All Good Things…"

• This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 2 .
• This season earned Star Trek: The Next Generation an Emmy Award nomination for "Outstanding Drama Series", the first (and so far only) time a syndicated series has earned that distinction.
• While Michael Piller continued to be credited as Executive Producer, he chose to focus on DS9 more, and so Jeri Taylor took over as showrunner for the final season of the series. One of her first decisions was to put an end to the open-submission process that Piller had put in place for scripts, and focus the writing around a core team of regular staff, with freelancers occasionally invited to make submissions.
• Ronald D. Moore has admitted he was less than satisfied with this season. In an interview about Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in SFX magazine #55 (published in 1999 and reprinted in 2006 ), he said, "Next Generation , I think, overstayed its welcome. The last season of that show is kind of rough. To be honest, there are chunks of it I haven't watched myself. The show just didn't know what it was trying to do in the last year. "
• Moore said a similar thing in 1998 ; " I wish we could've had a more coherent idea of what we wanted to accomplish in TNG's last year. Too much of it was random story-telling without a sense of bringing the show to a conclusion. " ( AOL chat , 1998 )
• This season marks the switch from ALL CAPS to Small Caps in the actor names of the main title.
• Characters which crossover from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine : Evek (in " Journey's End " and " Preemptive Strike "), Admiral Chekote (in " Gambit, Part I "), Quark (in " Firstborn "), and Miles O'Brien (in " All Good Things... ").
• Production of the seventh Star Trek movie, Star Trek Generations (the first one starring the Next Generation cast) began simultaneously with the last season of the series. Filming for the TNG main cast on the film began only ten days after principal photography was completed on the series finale, " All Good Things... ".

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Wins Emmy For Visual Effects

| September 12, 2021 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 22 comments so far

Two Star Trek shows were nominated for a total of five Emmy Awards this year, and this weekend they took home one.

Discovery wins for VFX

This weekend, over two nights, the Television Academy handed out awards for the Creative Arts Emmys. Up for contention this year was the third season of Star Trek: Discovery and the first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks, but it was Discovery that took home the sole win, for Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Single Episode. The visual effects work for the episode “Su’Kal” beat out competition from The Crown , The Nevers , Vikings, and The Umbrella Academy .

Out-of-this-world excitement for this win! Congrats to Star Trek: Discovery ( @StarTrekOnPPlus ) which takes home the #Emmy for Outstanding Special Visual Effects In A Single Episode for “Su’kal”! 💥 #Emmys #Emmy2021 pic.twitter.com/VQQ0RyYJOH — Television Academy (@TelevisionAcad) September 13, 2021

The following members of the  Discovery team were awarded Emmys:

This is the third season in a row Discovery has been nominated for visual effects, and it’s their first win.

THEORY: Did ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Finally Resolve The “Calypso” Mystery?

Another Creative Arts Emmy is well-deserved, but it would be great for the powers that be to reflect on what’s needed to get nominations for the major awards.

Given that other genre shows are getting ample consideration, one has to wonder what is needed to get over the threshold.

It needs to be a stronger show. That’s essentially what it comes down to.

Much better writing.

There were a few times when Trek would put forth an episode that would have a huge swath of fans crying foul about no one outside of the Hugos noticing. The City on the Edge of Forever. The Inner Light. The Visitor. The acting efforts by the likes of Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner, Tony Todd, Rene Auberjonois, Andrew Robinson, Jeffrey Combs, Jeri Ryan and Robert Picardo have gotten mention as being Emmy worthy in a just world. I don’t see that kind of chatter yet for these shows amongst professional critics, let alone fans, though fan critics are the most vocal.

Leonard Nimoy was nominated for an Emmy for all three seasons of TOS. He didn’t win, but during that era, it was noteworthy that he was even nominated; it was a sign of how very, very good his performance was.

Yep, Nimoy and TNG season 7 are the heights of Emmy recognition, with the latter being a testament to how big Trek fever was in the mid-nineties, rather than a reflection of how good the show really was that year.

And I believe DS9 season 6 was tied for most nominated drama that year, but they were all Creative Emmys.

TAS won a best children’s animated series Emmy.

It’s the only series award in the franchise

Oh yes! Thank you. Awards are a bizarre industry.

The Expanse has had some spectacular seasons, showcasing some great acting, and it is never recognized. SciFi is notoriously overlooked. Even TNG, only received a nomination in the “best drama” category for its final season.

And The Expanse was a far better show than Discovery. That said, with The Mandalorian, The Boys and Lovecraft Country each receiving best series nominations (and noms in other categories as well), science fiction being overlooked isn’t at play here as we see other genres being recognized this year.

Discovery is just another science fiction series. It isn’t presenting anything new or buzzworthy and, unlike the other series nominated this year, it isn’t earning near universal praise from fans and critics alike.

Congratulations!!

No matter how you feel about the show itself (and I’m very up and down on it depending on the episode) the FX in season 3 was amazing! Every week seem to have at least one jaw dropping scene. They really went all out to present the 32nd century and it’s visual look.

Had a LOT of issues with the episode Su’Kai when I watched it, but I remember praising how beautiful and unique it looked throughout the episode. Definitely deserves the award.

Should have been The Expanse.

Sorry Star Trek(which I love with all my heart) but The Expanse is a far better show on every level than Discovery.(IMO of course, before people get antsy)

That’s ok. I love both shows.

it is true. the expanse is better than Discovery. I would be happy if Discovery was more beautiful than the expanse, but I would not like the expanse to be less beautiful than Discovery.

Any excuse to denigrate the show, huh?

Not this past season. Last year with the Stargate thingy they went through, yes. But nothing about The Expanse Season 5 was particularly impressive. Bad acting. Bad writing. Mediocre effects.

I’ll admit only the Amos and Naomi plots really stuck with me, but the acting and production values I thought were on par with previous years.

I don’t agree on the writing or acting, but on the vfx, season five of The Expanse was unremarkable.

Congratulations to Discovery’s VFX team! That episode did look stunning.

So they were up against The Crown ,  The Nevers ,  Vikings,  and  The Umbrella Academy . That’s a weird field of contenders.

Special Emmy for magical infinite dimension turbolift shafts.

Screen Rant

1 star trek: tng actor never winning an emmy is an "injustice," says patrick stewart.

In his memoir, Patrick Stewart praises one particular member of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast who was never recognized by the Emmys.

• Patrick Stewart believes it is a major injustice that Brent Spiner, who played Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation, never won an Emmy.
• Stewart singles out Brent Spiner's performance in the episode "The Offspring" as particularly impressive, where Data creates an android daughter named Lal.
• Spiner's portrayal of Data, as well as other android characters, showcased his talent and the depth he brought to his character's desire to be human.

Patrick Stewart believes the fact that one particular member of the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast never won an Emmy is a "major injustice." Stewart's autobiography, "Making It So: A Memoir," delves into his many years playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation , the four TNG movies that followed, and reprising Jean-Luc as an iral in Star Trek: Picard. Stewart rewatched Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes and the films to prepare for writing his memoir, and he was struck by the performances of one of his cast mates.

In "Making It So," Patrick Stewart singles out Brent Spiner's work in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 16, "The Offspring," when Lt. Commander Data built his own android daughter. Lal (Hallie Todd). Stewart is a huge fan of Spiner's acting, although Brent's versatile work was never recognized by the Television Academy for Emmy consideration. Read the excerpt from "Making It So" below:

In "The Offspring," the first episode that Jonathan Frakes ever directed, Data creates an android child whom he names Lal. She assumes the form of a teenage girl, movingly played by Hallie Todd, but she is literally not built to last, and Dta musters something close to genuine human emotion as he watches the life drain out of her. Brent Spiner's performance is staggeringly good - he found new depths to his character's Pinocchio-like predicament of being a human invention who wishes to become human. It's a major injustice to me that Brent has never won an Emmy for playing Data, not to mention the androids Lore and B-4 and the bizarre Soong family of mad scientists.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Cast & Character Guide

Brent spiner's many star trek roles explained, spiner has played multiple androids and soong family ..

Brent Spiner's range of characters throughout the Star Trek franchise is, indeed, impressive and staggering. Data alone is a complex character to perform, but Spiner has also played Data's evil brother Lore , and his other mentally deficient brother, B-4. This is in addition to the Soong dynasty who were all played by Spiner. Brent has portrayed Data's creator, Dr. Noonian Soong in TNG and Soong's ancestors, Dr. Arik Soong in Star Trek: Enterprise , Dr. Adam Soong in Star Trek: Picard season 2, and Noonian's offspring, Dr. Altan Inigo Soong in Star Trek: Picard seasons 1 and 3.

Brent Spiner's comeback as Data in Star Trek: Picard season 3 may have been his most fulfilling performance.

Playing a Data that is both organic and synthetic in Star Trek: Picard season 3, with the fused personalities of Lore, B-4, Lal, and Altan Soong, Spiner evolved Data into an almost-human creation and becomes the most fully-dimensional, richly-realized version of the beloved android yet. It's safe to say no one in Star Trek will ever equal the range of characters and performances Brent Spiner has achieved, starting in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Patrick Stewart is justified in wanting Emmy recognition for his uber-talented friend and colleague.

Star Trek: The Next Generation

Screen Rant

I'm glad star trek: tng never did a mirror universe episode.

The Mirror Universe worked great on Star Trek: The Original Series, but it would have felt out of place on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

• TNG's moral crew would clash with a dark Mirror Universe, making an episode feel out of place.
• Mirror Universe concept worked for TOS but wouldn't fit TNG's serious and optimistic tone.
• TNG found other ways to explore alternate realities without resorting to Mirror Universe episodes.

Star Trek: The Next Generation never did a Mirror Universe episode, and that ultimately worked in the show's favor. Star Trek's Mirror Universe first debuted in the classic Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Mirror, Mirror," in which Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and some of his crew find themselves in a dark alternate universe that mirrors their own. In the Mirror Universe, the ISS Enterprise serves the Terran Empire instead of the USS Enterprise as part of the United Federation of Planets' Starfleet. Crew members are tortured when they make a mistake and the chain of command is often determined by officers murdering their superiors.

Despite the divergence of events in Star Trek' s Prime Universe and the Mirror Universe, many people ended up in the same place in both realities. For example, the entire crew of the USS Enterprise was the same in both universes, but their personalities were drastically different. Simply put, t he Mirror Universe is a world of opposites , although Spock (Leonard Nimoy) is logical in every universe. While the Mirror concept worked well for a one-off story with Captain Kirk and his Enterprise crew , the Mirror Universe would have felt out of place on Star Trek: The Next Generation for a number of reasons.

In Star Trek: Picard season 2, Q (John de Lancie) altered the past of the Prime Universe, which resulted in the

Confederation of Earth, a "xenophobic authoritarian regime" much like the Mirror Universe.

Star Trek 10’s Best Mirror Universe Variants

Why a star trek: tng mirror universe episode wouldn't have worked, the mirror universe clashes with the tone of tng and its characters..

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation represent the most moral Star Trek crew, and "evil" versions of those characters would have felt cartoonish. The Mirror Universe worked with the campy tone of Star Trek: The Original Series and Kirk was already an emotional Captain, so it wasn't that hard to imagine an evil version of him. TNG , on the other hand, had a more serious and optimistic tone, and an evil Captain Picard would have likely been either too dark or too over-the-top. TNG did tell alternate universe stories, such as "Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Parallels," but they did it in a way that was new and unique rather than rehashing TOS ' Mirror Universe concept.

Although Star Trek: The Next Generation had some callbacks to Star Trek: The Original Series in its early seasons, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry wanted to distance TNG from TOS . "Mirror, Mirror" is generally regarded as one of classic Star Trek's best episodes, and it would have been difficult for any TNG episode to live up to that. Despite not doing a Mirror Universe episode, TNG found other ways to allow its actors to play different, and even evil, versions of their characters. Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), for example, faced off against his evil twin brother Lore more than once, and multiple characters were possessed by alien entities.

Various non-canon tie-in novels and comic books have told Mirror Universe stories with Star Trek: The Next Generation's characters, beginning with Diane Duane's novel Dark Mirror in 1993.

Some Star Trek Shows Overused The Mirror Universe

The mirror universe began as a good concept but offers diminishing returns..

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had five Mirror Universe episodes, beginning with DS9 season 2, episode 23, "Crossover." This episode revealed that Mirror Universe Spock had reformed the Terran Empire after Captain Kirk and his crew visited there in "Mirror, Mirror." Although his reforms initially proved successful, they led to the occupation of the Empire by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, which then became the dominant power. In the Mirror Universe, Terok Nor (space station Deep Space Nine) was commanded by Intendant Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) , and Nana Visitor clearly had fun playing an evil version of Kira. However, with its overly sexualized characters and general campiness, the Mirror Universe storyline offered diminishing returns after the novelty wore off.

Star Trek: Enterprise's two-part "In a Mirror, Darkly" faired a bit better than DS9's Mirror Universe adventures, as it presented a self-contained story that took place entirely in the Mirror Universe and connected with TOS.

The Mirror Universe made more sense combined with the darker tone of Star Trek: Discovery , but it sometimes felt like too much for a Star Trek show. Still, the Mirror Universe of Discovery did provide the characters of Captain Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) and Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), two of Star Trek's best new villains. After its appearance in multiple Star Trek shows, the Mirror Universe began to feel too much like a gimmick. It's a concept that works better when used sparingly, and it would have felt tonally out of place on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Enterprise, & Star Trek: Discovery are available to stream on Paramount+.

AMC Networks remain hopeful the Emmy chances for its zombie apocalypse property are not dead.

The network announced its Emmy submission strategy for the three spinoffs from “ The Walking Dead ” universe: “Daryl Dixon,” “Dead City,” and “The Ones Who Live.”

Popular on Variety

“Daryl Dixon,” starring Norman Reedus, will compete in the drama series categories. As the titular character, Reedus will aim for a lead drama actor nod, while his co-star Clémence Poésy, who plays nun Isabelle Carriere, being considered for a supporting mention. Reedus’ travel show “Riding with Norman Reedus,” now in its sixth season, will vie for a hosted nonfiction series or special.

“Dead City,” which features the characters Maggie and Negan (Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan) in Manhattan in search of Maggie’s son (and Glenn, rest in peace) will see both actors competing in the lead races. The season finale “Doma Smo” will represent for both director Gandja Monteiro and writer Eli Jorne.

Despite its popularity, “The Walking Dead,” which ran from 2010 to 2021, struggled to make a significant impact at the Emmys , with only 16 nominations and two wins across 177 episodes and 11 seasons. Other spinoffs like “Fear the Walking Dead,” “World Beyond,” and “Tales of the Walking Dead” have also been ignored.

Emmy submissions are due May 9 with the eligibility deadline for all series concluding their runs by May 31. Nominations-round voting runs from June 13 to June 24.

AMC’s Emmy submissions are below. All are subject to change.
