NBC’s This Is Us ended a five-year Emmy drought for broadcast in the Outstanding Drama Series category when it landed a nomination for its breakout first season in 2017. It had been nominated in the top drama category for each of its three seasons as the only U.S. broadcast drama to crack the top category in almost a decade since CBS’ The Good Wife in 2011.
This Is Us did not score a fourth consecutive drama series Emmy nomination this morning, leaving the top category without a broadcast presence. But its star Sterling K.
