As always, Deadline’s Contenders events offer up the lowdown on hot picks for awards season, with a wealth of talent and teasers for what you need to watch. With this year’s Contenders Television that continues Sunday at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, we are bringing you the latest round of must-see shows.

The action this morning gets underway beginning at 9:30 a.m. PT. Doors at the DGA open at 8:30 a.m. if you’re attending live. If not:

Day 2 continues what Day 1 started Saturday, when a packed house of guild and Academy voters saw the casts and creatives of the likes of The Handmaid’s Tale, The Last of Us, 1923, Yellowjackets, Matlock, Running Point, The Pitt, Étoile, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, Good American Family, Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, Landman, Going Dutch and the original movies Another Simple Favor and Out of My Mind. The list of participants included Katy Bates, Noah Wyle, Elisabeth Moss, Denis Leary, Paul Feig, Ellen Pompeo, Bella Ramsey, Brandon Sklenar and many more.

With the amount of prestige TV on offer, now is the time to get your list of favorites up and running — and we’re here to help you do that. With Angelenos still reeling from the devastating fires and with industrywide upheaval and much change on the horizon, it’s heartening to see the continuing incredible quality and breadth of the shows in the mix today — from returning favorites like Apple TV+’s Severance and Prime Video’s The Boys to all the new and exciting TV we’ll continue to showcase for you.

The DGA will be jam-packed again with stars and the off-screen creatives behind these projects. Of course, sometimes those on-screen stars are on double, triple or even quadruple duty. For example, there’s creator-writer-EP-actor Benito Skinner from Prime Video’s Overcompensating on board.

We’ll have plenty more actors on board who also executive produce including Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks with their new Prime Video series The Better Sister, Aldis Hodge with Cross, and Sterling K. Brown with Hulu’s Paradise. Michael Fassbender will be here with Paramount+ show The Agency. And we’ll meet Brian Tyree Henry from Apple TV+’s Dope Thief, and Nathan Lane and Matt Bomer from Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern.

You’ll also get a look at brand new titles like The Studio from Apple TV+, Onyx Collective’s crime comedy series Deli Boys and Kaitlin Olsen as an unexpected detective in ABC’s High Potential.
