True to form, Leah Remini humbly deflected the initial attention for the honor of getting a nomination in Outstanding Informational Series or Special.
By all counts, success was already achieved for Scientolgy and the Aftermath, but with the Emmy nomination, Remini and the rest of the show’s crew know that the Emmy voters are paying just as much attention as audiences around the country.
When Scientology and the Aftermath first premiered, it was quite a big hit for A&E, earning championable numbers for its series premiere in November 2016, and its numbers throughout Season 1 were solid enough to earn it not just a season renewal, but also three different specials, with two coming in-season and one coming post-season.
