2017 PGA TV Nominations Boast ‘Stranger,’ ‘Westworld’

2017 PGA TV Nominations highlight inclusion of new, buzzy shows

The Producer’s Guild of America (PGA) unveiled their 2017 television nominations today, and Netflix’s Stranger Things continues to show in the guilds. This “little show that could” is clearly moving beyond a nostalgia property and could factor into the 2017 Emmys in a major way. Still, it is early in the Emmy season with roughly five months of programming left. Still, if the nominations announced today, Stranger Things would definitely fall into the top seven drama series. The 2017 PGA TV nominations also recognized other new series, including HBO’s Westworld and The Night Of as well as FX’s Atlanta, which has also factored in heavily in the end of year guild awards.

Returning nominees include Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, and Veep among others. Winners will be revealed on January 28.
