The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are currently airing on NBC, and the TV Academy has just revealed the show it deems the best comedy series of the past TV season. To be eligible for a nomination, a show must have aired between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023. While that period ended a while ago, the recent Hollywood strikes delayed the 2023 Emmys ceremony until now.

Below are the Emmy nominees for Outstanding Comedy Series – 2023:
