The series was renewed for a second season ahead of the awards ceremony and has garnered praise for its portrayal of an interfaith relationship between Bell’s character and a rabbi played by Adam Brody.In a November 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bell reflected on what she hoped audiences would take away from the series. She told the outlet, “I hoped people would walk away and think weeks later about: Is love really this story we’ve been told about finding your puzzle piece, or is it something way more nuanced than that? Is it a choice that you have to continually make because you’re up against it all the time?”Bell’s nomination puts her in a competitive category alongside Quinta Brunson (Abbott Elementary), Uzo Aduba (The Residence), Jean Smart (Hacks), and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear). Despite previously starring in fan-favorite series like Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, and The Good Place, this is Bell’s first-ever Emmy nod.
