Emmy Predictions: Who Will Take Over From ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Fleabag’?

“Game of Thrones” is gone. So is “Fleabag.” For the first time since 1978 — that’s right, the first time in 42 years — the reigning champions in the Emmys’ Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Comedy Series categories are off the air and ineligible at the same time. It’s still possible that a couple of past winners will claim those crowns again, since 2017 winner “The Handmaid’s Tale” is a nominee for drama and 2018 champ “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is one for comedy, but we may also have a pair of first-time winners in the Emmys’ marquee categories. The question is: Which first-time winners? “Succession” or “Ozark” in drama? “Schitt’s Creek” or “Insecure” in comedy? Or real longshots like “The Mandalorian” or “What We Do in the Shadows”? This much is a given: Emmy voters will surprise you. These are our best guesses for what shows will come out on top at Sunday’s 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards, but beware: It wouldn’t be the Emmys if a few of the winners didn’t come out of the blue.
