The Emmy nominations for 2018 were announced last week, and there are numerous ways to catch up on all the nominated comedy series. Those who are subscribed to HBO and Hulu are especially in luck, so there’s no excuse to not see some of the most celebrated series of the 2017-18 TV season.
I have compiled a list below of all the major comedy Emmy categories with info on where you can stream every season, including the most recent ones. Since there are several shows nominated in the technical categories as well, I am limiting this to the categories presented at this year’s main telecast. Drama, limited series/TV movie and variety categories to come.
FREE = free with subscription
$$$ = available to rent/buy
