We're down to our final four shows. Despite losing seven of our 16 seeded shows in the first round, we arrive at the semi-final stage with three still intact. History is against Dexter: no unseeded show has ever won the competition (the seeding rules were first implemented in 2012), but there is a first time for everything. Everyone ready?
Superman & Lois faces a seed for the first time in the competition, and it is our sole remaining finished seed in Buffy. Some franchise heritage for the DC Comics series: Smallville secured its first silver medal last year. Buffy, meanwhile, returns for its third semi-final. It suffered defeat to Castle in 2013 and Lucifer in 2018 - the latter went on to win the title.
As mentioned, as the only remaining unseeded show, Dexter faces a steep task. But as highlighted in the quarter-finals, no show had previously reached the last four having also secured a last-place finish. It has already performed magnificently and will need another herculean effort from its fans to overhaul Warrior Nun. The Netflix show has blitzted through the competition thus far and is clearly the one to beat. Can Dexter oblige?
