WGN AMERICA HONORED WITH FIRST-EVER EMMY(R) AWARD NOMINATION

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DRAMA 'MANHATTAN' EARNS NOMINATION FOR OUTSTANDING MAIN TITLE DESIGN

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2015 - The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced today that WGN America's critically acclaimed drama "Manhattan," created by Sam Shaw and directed by Emmy Award-winning director Thomas Schlamme, has been honored with a 67th Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Main Title Design.

"Tommy and I are so thrilled that the Academy has recognized our friends at Imaginary Forces for their brilliant work on 'Manhattan's' main title," said Shaw.

The design captures the scope and spirit of our show beautifully."

"Manhattan" returns for its second season on Tuesday, October 13 at 9:00 p.m. ET / 8:00 p.m. CT, exclusively on WGN America.
