Comic book adaptations made a heroic showing at the Emmy Awards, with 39 nominations across six series.
“WandaVision” was one of the leading nominees all around this year with 23 nominations, including nods for supporting actress , lead actor , lead actress , writing and directing . To underline the point here, while there have been several major TV shows adapted from Marvel comics, “WandaVision” is the first-ever TV series produced by.
The drama series nomination for “The Boys” — a graphically violent satire of the crass commodification of superhero pop-culture — is arguably an even more noteworthy milestone for the genre, especially since it’s the first-ever comic book adaptation to be nominated in that category.
The overall strong performance by superhero television is part of Emmy voters’ larger embrace of genre storytelling in general, with Disney Plus’ “The Mandalorian” and HBO’s “Lovecraft Country” also among the top nominees of the year, including for drama series. There were some notable omissions from this year’s slate of nominees. Two popular and critically acclaimed animated superhero series — HBO Max’s “Harley Quinn” and Amazon’s “Invincible” — came up empty, and The CW network continues its ignoble streak of zero nominations, including for well-received DC Comics adaptations like “Superman and Lois” and “Legends of Tomorrow.”
For the first time in TV history, however, comic book adaptations aren’t just an exceptional part of the Emmy nominations — they’re leading the charge.
