The 75th Primetime Emmys, originally slated for September 18, will not be airing as scheduled due to the ongoing strikes in Hollywood, according to a report from Variety.
Both the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are currently engaged in a strike, resulting in a complete halt in Hollywood productions until a resolution is reached.
This marks the first time since 2001 that the Emmys have been postponed, with the previous occurrence being in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack.
The show was then held in November at a smaller venue, reflecting a more somber tone, as noted by Variety.
While a new date for the Emmys has not been set, Fox is reportedly expecting to broadcast the ceremony in January 2024. On the other hand, the TV Academy had expressed its intention to reschedule the event for November.

In response to the situation, the TV Academy released a statement last week, saying, “Like the rest of the industry, we hope there will be an equitable and timely resolution for all parties in the current guild negotiations. We continue to monitor the situation closely with our partners at Fox and will advise if and when there is an update available.”
The announcement of the Emmy nominations took place on July 12, just two days before the start of the SAG-AFTRA strike and during the ongoing WGA strike that commenced on May 2.
Among the notable nominations were “Succession” leading the list with 27 nominations, followed by “The Last of Us” with 24, “The White Lotus” with 23, and “Ted Lasso” with 21.
Regarding the Netflix lineup, “Beef” and “Dahmer” both secured 13 nominations, while “Wednesday” received 12.
As the strike continues, the industry awaits an amicable resolution, and audiences eagerly anticipate the new date for the prestigious Emmy Awards ceremony.
