According to her latest revelation in an interview, the episode titled, ‘When We Are In Need’ won her the debut Emmy nomination. The second last episode of the nine-episode season 1 was released on the 5th of March 2023. The episode is written by the show’s co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Ali Abbasi. The eighth episode has been a standout of the season. It seems like the selection committee was also in agreement with the audience.
