Season 2, Not on This Year’s Emmy Nomination List?

Netflix's <Squid Game> Season 2 has not been included in the nomination list for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced on the 15th (local time) that <Squid Game> did not make the list for major categories including Outstanding Drama Series.

This is in stark contrast to three years ago in 2022. At that time, the first season, which was released, was nominated in a total of 14 categories at the Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series, Directing, Writing, Lead Actor, and Supporting Actor/Actress, setting a record for the most nominations for a foreign language drama.

At the 2022 awards ceremony, it won honors in a total of 6 categories, including Directing (Hwang Dong-hyuk), Lead Actor (Lee Jung-jae), Guest Actor (Lee Yoo-mi), Visual Effects, Stunt Performance, and Production Design.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has not provided a separate statement regarding the exclusion of this season 2 from the nominations.
