All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 25 to cast their 2019 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for programs (save for animated documentary/nonfiction which are restricted to their peer groups.) Unlike the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally. In the past, voters were limited in the number of programs that they could put forth. Two years ago that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted.
While there has been an explosion in the number of comedy and drama series in the last several years, the limited series genre had been almost static. There were 25 entries in 2015, 26 in 2016 and 25 again in 2017. But there has been an uptick, with 33 such shows submitted in 2018 and 35 this year. Even so, with six nominees for Best Limited Series, the odds for each of the entries detailed below is pretty good.

Roseanne star John Goodman has stated that his forthcoming Netflix and BBC drama Black Earth Rising “rejuvenated” him after being “tired” and “burnt out” from a “long year.”
The actor, who is set to star in Roseanne Barr-less ABC comedy The Connors this fall, said that it was “lovely” to be working on a series “where I look forward to going to work every day.”
Goodman plays lawyer Michael Ennis in the eight-part drama, alongside Chewing Gum creator Michaela Coel, who plays a legal investigator in Ennis’ law chambers, having been rescued as a young child during the Rwandan genocide and adopted by Eve Ashby, a world-class British prosecutor in international criminal law.
When Eve, played by The Crown’s Harriet Walter, takes on a case at the International Criminal Court, prosecuting an African militia leader, the story pulls Michael and Kate into a journey that will upend their lives forever.
