The Television Academy has reversed course about HBO’s “The White Lotus” competing as a limited series at this year’s Emmy Awards and will instead compete in the Drama Series categories.
Back in March 2022, the TV Academy reported that the series would be up against competitors in the limited series category when the awards show returned on Sept 18, 2023. The Academy has since walked back that decision, having determined that the series’ second season will be moved to categories for dramas. The Season 2 finale dropped on HBO Max in December 2022.
“The Television Academy has determined The White Lotus, Season 2, is eligible in the Outstanding Comedy or Drama Series category,” a Television Academy spokesperson told TheWrap Friday.
