'Stumble' Defies Cancellation With Emmy Nomination

The NBC sitcom 'Stumble,' canceled in May 2026, has received an unexpected Emmy nomination. This recognition celebrates the show's vibrant cheer routines, earning a nod in the choreographer category. This nomination offers a final moment of acclaim for the series.

While the Emmy nomination provides some solace, the show's co-creator expressed regret that the lead actors, Taran Killam and Jenn Lyon, were overlooked. The comedy category is highly competitive, but the performances were seen as strong contenders.

'Stumble' aired its single, shortened season on NBC, initially on Friday nights before a brief move to Mondays. Despite positive reception from its viewers, who likened it to early seasons of 'Parks & Rec' or 'The Office,' the show struggled to attract a wider audience.

The Emmy Awards ceremony is scheduled to broadcast on NBC and Peacock on September 14th, 2026. Those wishing to catch 'Stumble' can stream episodes via a Peacock subscription.
