It’s hard to know where to start here because only two eligible shows have ever been nominated in this category. It’s safe to assume that both installments of The Crown make the cut since that series has never missed out and always carefully submits. It’s not as easy to guess whether The Handmaid’s Tale returns given that it was snubbed last year following consistent nominations before that. While I might choose the powerful second episode, “Nightshade,” I think the finale, “The Wilderness” is the likeliest selection, though it could be both (or any of the other three installments on the ballot). From the freshmen series, I think Lovecraft Country stands the best chance, though I’m not entirely sure which of its five submitted episodes will get in. The pilot, “Sundown,” is probably the best bet. Speaking of first episodes, Ratched, Raised by Wolves, Industry, P-Valley, and Bridgerton could all find their pilots included, while Perry Mason, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and The Mosquito Coast chose other installments that could earn votes. Looking at sophomore series, there are four episodes of The Boys and For All Mankind in contention, and seven episodes of The Mandalorian. There are also five installments of In Treatment on the ballot, though that show never managed any bids in this category for its third seasons a decade ago. It would be wonderful to see any episode(s) of Pose honored, or to see one of the two special Euphoria installments recognized.
The predicted nominees: Diamond of the First Water (Bridgerton), Fairytale (The Crown), War (The Crown), The Wilderness (The Handmaid’s Tale), Sundown (Lovecraft Country), Series Finale (Pose), Pilot (Ratched)
The predicted winner: I think this could go to Lovecraft Country if it manages to get nominated.
