"Somebody Somewhere" Creators Celebrate Emmy Nods, Tease Potential Future
16 Aug
Summary
- "Somebody Somewhere" received Emmy nominations for supporting actor and writing
- Creators open to doing a fourth season or movie if it's "very special"
- Series finale tied up storylines while leaving room for more
In August 2025, the creators of the HBO series "Somebody Somewhere" are reflecting on the show's journey and its recent Emmy recognition. The series, which followed the story of Sam, a 40-something woman who moves back to her small hometown in Kansas, has received critical acclaim and a devoted following over its three-season run.
Despite initial doubts about whether the quiet, slice-of-life story could work as a TV show, the series went on to become a "booming echo of originality" for its small but passionate audience. The finale, which aired earlier this year, tied up some storylines while leaving room for the future, with the creators open to revisiting the characters in a potential fourth season or a movie.
The series' recent Emmy nominations, including a nod for supporting actor Jeff Hiller and a writing nomination for the finale, have given the team a reason to delay the journey's end. As co-creator Bridget Everett says, "It's just really fun that we all get to keep going a little bit longer, and maybe we get a couple more viewers out of it."
