2026 Emmy Winner Predictions: Best Directing and Writing in a Drama and Comedy Series

Best Directing in a Drama Series
Will Win - The Pitt - 12:00 p.m.
Could Win - Pluribus - We is Us or Slow Horses - Scars
Should Win - The Pitt - 12:00 p.m.
Commentary - The Pitt won last year without winning either Writing and Directing, both of which we interesting upsets. A lot of folks think that Pluribus' Pilot takes both of these categories, and it could, but if it does, that means its probably winning Best Drama Series, and I feel like The Pitt is still on top. I am going for a split, and think that the directors will want to reward the work of the show here. Also, after last year's win, watch out for a Slow Horses repeat. 

Best Writing in a Drama Series
Will Win - Pluribus - We is Us
Could Win - The Pitt - 12:00 p.m. 
Should Win - Pluribus - We is Us
Commentary - See Directing, but honestly, the writing feels like a better fit for Pluribus. 

Best Directing in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Widow's Bay - Welcome to Widow's Bay
Could Win - Hacks - Hacks (Finale)
Should Win - Widow's Bay - Welcome to Widow's Bay
Commentary - Two great shows, one new to the game and one leaving out on a high. Like in Drama, I think they split and honestly, that probably is how it should go. Widow's Bay for Directing, Hacks for Writing, and fun sprint to the finish for Best Comedy Series. 

Best Writing in a Comedy Series
Will Win - Hacks - Hacks (Finale)
Could Win - Widow's Bay - Welcome to Widow's Bay
Should Win - Hacks - Hacks (Finale)
Commentary - See Directing
