A Japanese series appears to be able to dominate at the American TV gala in September. "Shogun" received a total of 25 nominations for the Emmy Award.

Not since the prize for best drama series was established in 1951 has the award gone to a series that largely takes place in a foreign language. But now it can happen.

The Japanese "Shogun" received the most prize opportunities of all drama series when the nominations for the gala were presented, 25 in total, including for best drama series.

The series is a new version of the classic adventure series from the 1980s, but with a greater focus on the internal intrigues in 17th-century Japan than its predecessor starring Richard Chamberlain in the lead role.

"Shogun" is broadcast on Disney+ in Sweden. The streaming service also shows the restaurant series "The Bear", which received a record number of nominations, 23, in the comedy category.

"The Bear"'s nomination rain comes on the same day as the latest season of the series premieres in Sweden.

The acclaimed Netflix series "Baby Reindeer" also has several chances of winning at the gala. The drama series about stalking and sexual abuse can, among other things, win the prize for best miniseries or TV film.

Among the nominees is also the Swedish cinematographer Sophia Olsson, who has a chance of winning an Emmy in the category of best cinematography for a drama series, for her work on the Netflix series "The Crown". The Swedish cinematographer Martin Ahlgren is also nominated for his contribution to the series "3 Body Problem".

The Emmy gala itself takes place on September 15.
