The 2024 Emmy Awards just got even more star-studded.

On Tuesday, the Television Academy announced their final list of nominees for series producers for next month’s ceremony. These are the individuals who will receive a trophy if their series win their category. The finalized lists include the producers of the drama, comedy, and limited series entries. And there’s a lot of star power in play.

True Detective buds Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson landed their first Emmy nominations in 10 years, this time for producing True Detective: Night Country (they were previously nominated for the first iteration of the HBO drama). That 18-person nominee team also includes the late Steve Golin, Oscar winner Barry Jenkins, and director Cary Joji Fukunaga.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem also boasts a stacked list of nominees led by Plan B top brass Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner. The series also scored nominations for Rosamund Pike, Rian Johnson (previously shut out in directing for both Breaking Bad and Poker Face) and Game of Thrones creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff.

Though neither Jason Bateman nor Laura Dern was nominated for acting this year, the two Emmy winners landed nominations for their work producing Lessons in Chemistry and Palm Royale, respectively. While MCU director Taika Waititi made history as the first indigenous producer to score two nominations for Best Comedy in the same year with Reservation Dogs and What We Do in the Shadows.

While The Bear racked up a record-breaking number of nominations, it didn’t score one for Matty Matheson in the supporting actor category for his role as Neil Fak. However, the real-life chef is now a nominee for producing the FX series.

The Emmy Awards will air on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Sunday, Sept. 15.
