The shows 'Game Changer' and 'Very Important People' are entering 11 categories, according to a report from Variety. This move represents Dropout's entry into the competitive television awards landscape.

Vic Michaelis is being submitted in the lead comedy actress category for her role in 'Game Changer'. The series, known for its improvisational format, has gained attention in the comedy genre. 'Very Important People', another Dropout production, focuses on similar unscripted humor.

Categories include acting, writing, directing, and technical achievements in comedy series. Dropout's strategy aims to highlight its original content amid growing competition from larger networks and platforms.

As a smaller independent service, Dropout specializes in comedy programming available via subscription. The awards push could increase visibility for its shows, which have built a dedicated audience since their launches. Nominations, if secured, would position the series alongside established television programs.
