HBO Max is going wide with its Emmy campaign for “Neighbors,” the Josh Safdie-produced docuseries that turned America’s pettiest property-line feuds into one of the most talked-about unscripted experiments of the season.

After being greenlit for a second season, the network is submitting the series in 10 categories at this year’s Emmy Awards, including a bid in the outstanding unstructured reality program category, Variety revealed exclusively. Created and directed by Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford, the six-episode A24 production spent more than two years embedding with feuding neighbors across the U.S., framing their disputes over fences, surveillance cameras, backyard menageries and one now-infamous swimsuit as a verité window into a polarized nation.
