Favorite series and what platform they are on

The 2024 Emmys are in the early hours (for Spain) from Monday 15th to Sunday 16th. We already had these Emmy Awards last January of this year, due to the strike of actors and screenwriters, which forced the 2023 Emmy Awards to be postponed. At that gala, the winners were the farewell ‘Succession’, the “comedy” ‘The Bear’ and ‘Bronca’, the Netflix miniseries. On this occasion, there are two series that start as big favorites for the Emmy Awards: Shogun y The Bear.

If the predictions are correct, the first will be crowned best drama and the second will do the same in the comedy category. They are the ones that received the most nominations and the ones that emerged victorious, a week ago, from the distribution of statuettes corresponding to the technical categories, which this time had their own ceremony. Shogun already has 14 Emmys to its name (it started with 25) and The Bear has won seven (it had 23). Both productions, by the way, can be seen on Disney+.
