Happy June, Fellow TV Lovers. It’s Emmy Wish List Season! The ballots are ready to be perused by Academy of Television Arts & Science members (as well as members of the public), as we eagerly await the announcement of nominations on July 15.

I’ve assembled a few of my favorites from the 2024-25 season that I would love to see honored on TV’s biggest night. And as with my Wishlist from last year, I’ll be focusing on the less-heralded shows and performances that could really use the support. They may not be getting a ton of buzz, but I love them just as much as they deserve to be loved.
