\n<\/p>\n
\n\tFeaturing a lineup of shows that may be the strongest in the history of Deadline\u2019s Contenders Television events, this year\u2019s two-day must-attend gathering of this season\u2019s hottest awards prospects is now underway live at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis year\u2019s collection of panels featuring 29 shows truly indicates the wide-open nature of the awards races, with returnees joined by a bevy of acclaimed new shows competing for the first time. That makes this collection especially exciting and also valuable for the Television Academy and key guild voters in attendance, making Contenders TV a kind of one-stop shopping opportunity to hear from creators and stars over the course of the weekend.<\/p>\n
\n\tYes, there are familiar titles showcased including NBC\u2019s Emmy record holder Saturday Night Live<\/strong>, ABC\u2019s Abbott Elementary<\/strong><\/em> and a returning old favorite back in action with Scrubs<\/strong><\/em>. Past major Emmy winners like Baby Reindeer<\/em>\u2018s Richard Gadd with a stirring new HBO Max limited series Half Man<\/strong><\/em>; David E. Kelley with a new show, Apple TV\u2019s Margo\u2019s Got Money Troubles<\/strong><\/em>, collaborating for the first time with his wife Michelle Pfeiffer; Breaking Bad<\/em>\u2018s Vince Gilligan now with another hit, Apple TV\u2019s Pluribus<\/strong><\/em>, starring Better Call Saul<\/em>\u2019s Rhea Seehorn: and Mare of Easttown<\/em> creator Brad Inglesby back with the heavily-praised HBO Max series Task<\/strong><\/em>. The return of Prime Video\u2019s The Night Manager<\/strong><\/em> with its star Tom Hiddleston and new cast is another highlight worthy of a deep dive.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Hulu\u2019s The Testaments<\/strong><\/em> has a lot in store for fans of past Emmy winner The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>. The streamer\u2019s second season of Paradise <\/strong><\/em>brings Emmy-winner Sterling K. Brown back for an even more intense set of events this season. And Paramount+ will represent with the stars from its hit Taylor Sheridan series Landman<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tPrime Video\u2019s breakout hit Jury Duty<\/em><\/strong> has found a way to come back with a new edition out of the courtroom, set this time at a company retreat where one unsuspecting new employee is about to have an experience he will never forget. The Amazon streamer\u2019s Contenders lineup brings us that one, as well as all the info and star power making up the fifth and final season of The Boys<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tReality TV will also be getting a showcase with Peacock\u2019s Love Island: USA<\/strong><\/em> and Fox\u2019s Fear Factor: House of Fear<\/strong><\/em>, just to add a little spice to the weekend\u2019s offerings.<\/p>\n \n\tThe are joined by a who\u2019s-who of this year\u2019s buzziest shows across the two days, including AMC\/AMC+\u2019s The Audacity<\/strong><\/em>; Apple TV\u2019s Shrinking<\/strong><\/em>; CBS\u2019 Elsbeth<\/strong><\/em>; Disney+\u2019s Wonder Man<\/strong><\/em>; HBO Max\u2019s Industry<\/strong><\/em>; Hulu\u2019s Chad Powers<\/strong><\/em> and The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox<\/strong><\/em>; Peacock\u2019s Ted<\/strong><\/em>; Prime Video\u2019s Young Sherlock<\/strong><\/em>, Bait<\/strong>, <\/em>Fallout<\/em> and Spider-Noir<\/strong><\/em>; and Warner Bros.
