As you prepare to cast your 2023 Emmy predictions for Best Limited Series, be sure to check out our photo gallery highlighting the most likely contenders. The clear frontrunner is Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which serves as the first iteration of Ryan Murphy And Ian Brennan‘s anthology series “Monsters”. After “The Queen’s Gambit” (2021), it would be the second Netflix show to prevail here.
“White House Plumbers”, “Love & Death” or “Full Circle” could earn HBO its 15th win in this category. The paycaster’s most recent winner was “The White Lotus” last year. The second season of The White Lotus is eligible for the upcoming Emmys, but the show has been reclassified as a drama due to the inclusion of already established characters.
Hulu wants to avenge the losses of its 2022 series Dopesick, The Dropout and Pam & Tommy with new competitors Fleishman is in Trouble, Welcome to Chippendales and The Patient.
“Black Bird” has the best chance of becoming the first Apple TV+ series to ever compete for this award, followed by “Extrapolations” and “Five Days at Memorial”.
Prime Video and Disney+ could also take up multiple slots, after first battling for 2021 honors with The Underground Railroad and WandaVision, respectively. This year, the best bets on Prime Video are “Daisy Jones & The Six” and “The English,” while Disney+ has “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Secret Invasion.”
