The glittering event - which honours excellence in television - had been due to take place on 18 September but were recently postponed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but the Television Academy and Fox have now announced the 75th annual ceremony will take place on 15 January, 2024.

An official statement announced: "As the Emmy Awards celebrates its 75th Anniversary, the show will broadcast live on FOX coast-to-coast from the Peacock Theater at LA Live and will honour the talented performers, writers, directors, and craftspeople whose work has entertained, inspired, and connected viewers across the globe throughout the past year."

The awards will follow the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take place over two nights on 6 and 7 January.

Jesse Collins, who won the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) award last year, will be the event's executive producer along with Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay of Jesse Collins Entertainment.

'Succession' leads the nominations at this year's ceremony with a staggering 14 nods.
