Children’s & Family Emmys 2024 Nominations: ‘Percy Jackson,’ ‘Sesame Street,’ ‘Spiderwick Chronicles’ Lead; Ceremony Moves to March

As a seasoned television critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the 2023 Emmy nominations for Children’s and Family programming are nothing short of spectacular! With an impressive array of shows spanning various genres and categories, it seems like there’s something for everyone in this year’s lineup.

This year’s Children & Family Emmy Awards are shifting locations. On Thursday, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences unveiled the nominees for the third annual event, simultaneously announcing that the ceremonies will now be held on March 15 in Los Angeles. (Previously, the competition was held in December.)

Regarding the nominations, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” on Disney+ took the lead with 16, receiving recognition in various categories. In the young teen series category, it’s up against competitors such as “Goosebumps” from Disney+, “Heartstopper” and “One Piece,” both from Netflix, and “The Spiderwick Chronicles” on the Roku Channel.

The series ‘Percy Jackson’ was recognized alongside several actors, even after the unfortunate passing of Lance Reddick. Other shows that are doing well include Sesame Street on HBO/Max with 13 nominations, The Spiderwick Chronicles and StoryBots: Answer Time on Netflix both received 10 nominations, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock on Apple TV+ with 10 nominations, One Piece with 9 nominations, and Goosebumps with 9 nominations.

Rachel Schwartz, who heads the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, expressed how special this year’s nominations are since many of the works being recognized were postponed due to last year’s strikes. She considers it an honor to lead a competition that not only acknowledges outstanding talent but also influences how children and their families engage with the world. Her warm congratulations go out to everyone involved.

Apart from the “Sesame Street” awards, it was also recognized with a commendation in the public service initiative category that had two winners. These included Univision’s project titled “La Fuerza-STEM: Engaging Hispanic Families in Science Through Culturally Relevant Media” and Nickelodeon’s initiative called “Well Versed.

Information regarding the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards ceremonies, including the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement award, the host, and the presenters, will be disclosed in early 2025.

Last year, NATAS president/CEO Adam Sharp explained to EbMaster that the preference from the Children’s community was for the ceremony to take place after the holiday season. Consequently, instead of being scheduled for December 2024, he decided to move it to a later date so as not to interfere with everyone’s holiday celebration plans.
