Last year’s winner in the category, Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” failed to earn a nomination this year.

NBC’s “The Good Place” earned a nomination for best comedy series, but it will face still competition from Prime Video’s Emmy-winning “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” HBO’s “Barry,” Showtime’s “Kidding” and Netflix’s “The Kominsky Method.”
Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan will look to repeat last year’s Globe win for best actress in a comedy series for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She’ll be squaring off with Kristen Bell of “The Good Place,” Candice Bergen of “Murphy Brown,” Alison Brie of “GLOW” and Debra Messing of “Will & Grace.”
Sacha Baron Cohen earned a best comedy-series-actor nod for his headline-grabbing series “Who is America.” Jim Carrey was nominated for his work in “Kidding,” along with Michael Douglas for “The Kominsky Method,” Donald Glover for “Atlanta” and Bill Hader for “Barry.”

The ceremony will be co-hosted by actress Sandra Oh of “Killing Eve” and Andy Samberg of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
