Deadline’s Contenders Television, where the top networks and streamers will show off their wares and Emmy hopefuls, kicks off Saturday morning to open a full weekend of one-stop shopping for anyone interested in the best and brightest series this awards season.
No sooner had we finished six months of Oscar season, we are jumping head-first into what shows are getting the buzz on the small screen — and believe us, there is more content out there than ever. Just look at the lineup of studios and streamers participating this weekend at our panel extravaganza at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles: Peacock, Prime Video, National Geographic, Apple TV+, Netflix, Hulu, CBS Studios, Showtime, Fox Entertainment, Paramount+, AMC/AMC+, HBO Max, Starz, Sony Pictures Television, ABC, Roku, Onyx Collective and Disney+.
Over the course of two days Deadline will remind you of the breadth and depth of what we’ve been watching for the past year, and in some cases, what we are about to watch. Our Contenders events are designed to give you a taste of what is out there, and perhaps encourage you to check it all out. We do this through informed and entertaining conversations with key creatives and talent from a variety of shows (see this weekend’s full lineup and schedule below).
We will have a wide range of stars on hand this weekend, including the likes of Natasha Lyonne sporting her best Poker Face to Your Honor himself, Bryan Cranston. A small sampling of others includes Riley Keough and Sam Claflin making their first Contenders go-round with the cast of Daisy Jones & The Six, and Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn in their final Contenders appearance with Better Call Saul. Also on tap are Eugene Levy, Patrick Stewart, Helen Mirren, Kerry
