Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Netflix is back on top. The streamer slightly increased its Emmy nomination tally in 2024, leading all outlets with 107 — up four from last year’s 103, and taking over the top slot held by HBO/Max last year (which dropped from 127 to 91).

And Netflix chief content officer Bela Bajaria was in a celebratory mood when Variety spoke with her on Wednesday morning. Although Netflix has had bigger Emmy nomination years (its 160 in 2020 is still an all-time record), Bajaria said she was happy to see this year’s tally spread out across 35 different titles, including “The Crown” (with 18 noms), “Ripley” (13), “Baby Reindeer” (11), “3 Body Problem” (6) and “Beckham” (5). “I’m feeling really proud of so much of the work our creative partners have done,” she said. “Today is really an acknowledgement and celebration of them and all of these incredible talented people and creators we work with.

To me, the takeaway is also looking across such a wide breadth of genres, and having 107 nominations across 35 different titles, new and returning.

Being able to work with best in class creators across all of those different genres and seeing them being recognized in this way.” In its final season, “The Crown” actually bolstered its nomination total, including nods for stars Imelda Staunton, Dominic West (his first ever Emmy nod), Elizabeth Debicki, Lesley Manville (also her first) and Jonathan Pryce. “Don’t take ‘The Crown’ for granted,” Bajaria said. “To be nominated every year and having it in the last season is incredible.
