Voting for the 2022 Emmys is officially on!
The nomination round of the 74th Annual Emmy Awards just kicked off, with voters having to choose between 171 series in the drama categories, 118 comedies, and 61 limited/anthology series. We’re still a month away from the nominees being announced (that will come July 12), but we wanted to take a look at some of the LGBTQ+ shows from this past television season that we hope voters will give some love to.
Whether it's for acting, writing, directing, or the show overall, here are 17 queer-inclusive shows we hope will have their names called on Emmy nomination day.

Don Mancini’s Chucky TV series has revitalized both the franchise and horror TV as a whole. We don’t only love the show, but Fiona Dourif gave, in our opinion, the best TV performance of the year as Nica Pierce and as her own father’s character Charles Lee Ray. She totally transforms, and we’d give the world to see her get an Emmy nomination.
Without question, the best comedy of the year. Stars Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi deserve Emmys for playing two pirates from opposite ends of the world who fall in love. This show, and it's creator David Jenkins, also deserve Emmys for writing and Best Comedy. Also, don’t count out Nathan Foad as the charming and smarmy Lucius for his supporting acting.
