International Emmys: ‘Narcos: Mexico’ Leads The Pack Alongside ‘Sex Education’, ‘Lupin’

Narcos: Mexico has picked up two nominations at the International Emmy Awards 2022 and will battle with Lupin, Vigil and South Africa’s Reyka for the coveted Drama Series prize.


The Netflix spin-off smash hit also picked up a nod for Scoot McNairy in the Best Performance By an Actor category, a hot contest that will see him go up against Crime’s Dougray Scott, Swedish drama A Royal Secret’s Sverrir Gudnason and Korea’s Dr Brain’s Lee Sun-Kyun. Scroll down for the full list below.


Other high-profile nominees include the third season of another Netflix hit, Sex Educationwhich is up for Best Comedy Series alongside Canal+’s On The Verge, HBO Latin America’s Bunker and BBC comedy Dreaming Whilst Black, capping off a fine week for the latter following a series order and A24 picking up U.S. rights.

There was a nod to Jack Thorne’s heart-wrenching Covid drama Help in TV Movie/Mini Series and this year also sees the introduction of an International Emmy Sports Documentary category.
