Blanchett also headlined and produced the FX/Hulu historical drama miniseries "Mrs. America" (2020), starring as conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly. The nine-part series debuted in the United States on 15 April 2020, to widespread critical acclaim, with James Poniewozik writing in his review for "The New York Times", "Her final scene, wordless and devastating, might as well end with Blanchett being handed an Emmy onscreen"; and Michael Idato for "The Sydney Morning Herald" proclaiming, "Blanchett's track record speaks for itself, but here something else is happening. Every time Blanchett's Schlafly glides perfectly into the frame, there is simply nowhere else to look." Blanchett received nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress and Outstanding Limited Series (for her role as executive producer) at the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards for "Mrs. America", as well as a nomination for Individual Achievement in Drama from the Television Critics Association.
