Emmys 2024 to Be Produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment for the Second Year in a Row (EXCLUSIVE)
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Jesse Collins Entertainment is back for an Emmys encore. ABC and the Television Academy are set to announce that the production company has been tapped to serve as producers of this year’s 76th edition of the Primetime Emmy awards.
This past January, Jesse Collins Entertainment pulled off something rare: In a world where awards shows rarely get rave reviews, the company earned high marks for producing the 75th Emmys (which had been delayed due to the Hollywood strikes).
Now, just a few months later, they’re ready for more. “Jesse Collins Entertainment delivered a fresh, innovative and unforgettable celebration of Emmy’s 75th anniversary, and we are happy to be working with them again this year,” said Television Academy chair Cris Abrego. “We look forward to another extraordinary evening celebrating the rich and diverse television landscape, and honoring the remarkable people and programs shaping our industry.” No host has been named as of yet, but the news means that for a second consecutive year, Collins will once again executive produce with Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment. “We’re lucky to have had many opportunities over the years to collaborate with Jesse Collins and his exceptional team, and are thrilled to reunite for television’s biggest night,” said Rob Mills, executive vice president, unscripted and alternative entertainment, Walt Disney Television. “Jesse produced an all-time great Emmy Awards earlier this year, and we are excited for him to raise the bar with the upcoming show.” The “76th Emmy Awards” will air live from the Peacock Theater at L.A.
Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on ABC. The event will then stream the next day on Hulu. “We are honored to return to produce the 76th Emmy Awards,” Collins, Harmon and Rouzan-Clay said in a joint statement. “We truly look forward to working with Cris and reuniting with Rob, everyone at the Television.
