Emmys: Peacock has decided to make a last-minute shift and move MrsDavis into the limited/anthology series categories.

stars in “Mrs. Davis” as Simone, a sometimes nun who takes on her nemesis, the artificial intelligence being known only as “Mrs. Davis,” and strikes a deal with the algorithm — which promises to shut down if Simone finds and destroys the holy grail. This exploration of faith and technology comes from executive producers Tara Hernandez and Damon Lindelof .

Moving “Mrs. Davis” to limited also absolves the show of questions of whether it was more suited for the drama or comedy races. Although a dramatic story filled with existential questions, “Mrs. Davis” is also filled with absurdity and plenty of comedy — hence the debate from the beginning over where the show should compete.

As part of the shift to limited/anthology, Gilpin will now compete in lead actress in a limited series. Entering in supporting actor in a limited series are Jake McDorman, Andy McQueen, Chris Diamantopoulos, Tom Wlaschiha, David Arquette and Ben Chaplin. In supporting actress in a limited series will be Elizabeth Marvel, Katja Herbers, Margo Martindale and Mathilde Ollivier.
