This was one of its four major awards, but it also won 14 more trophies at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards for a total of 18, the most wins by any show in a single year.
It was also a historic night for The Bear, which won four major awards for a total of 11, the most by a comedy show in a single year. Despite its domination in the comedy field, the FX culinary dramedy failed to win the trophy for the outstanding comedy series, which went to HBO’s Hacks.
The race in the limited/anthology series field was much easier to call, and Baby Reindeer led the way in most major categories, including outstanding limited or anthology series, plus acting awards for its stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning.
The 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 15, with Eugene and Dan Levy making their hosting debut.

How to Kill Your Family author Bella Mackie is coming on board as one of the executive producers alongside Taylor-Joy and lead writer Emma Moran, and she’s confident her book is in safe hands.
“It’s been thrilling to watch the characters I wrote take on new life under this magnificent creative team. Anya is the most perfect fit to play Grace: I often think she understands her better than I do,” said Mackie in a statement.
This series will mark Taylor Joy’s first collaboration with Netflix since her Golden Globe-winning role in The Queen’s Gambit. She went on to become one of Hollywood’s biggest young stars in the wake of its success, and we’ve most recently seen her star in blockbusters Dune: Part Two and Furiosa.

We’ll be reunited with Natasha Rothwell’s fan-favorite character Belinda, but Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sarah Catherine Hook, and Sam Nivola will also make an appearance.
The Last of Us teaser introduces us to Catherine O’Hara’s mysterious character, who questions Joel’s (Pedro Pascal) intentions toward Ellie (Bella Ramsey). The final scene of HBO’s promo clip sees her asking Joel, “Did you hurt her?” before several scenes from the new season appear on the screen, and he eventually tearfully replies, “I saved her.”
Industry, My Brilliant Friend, Harley Quinn, The S-x Lives of College Girls, And Just Like That, and The Gilded Age are also among the shows returning to HBO and Max in upcoming months, along with several newcomers. HBO’s promo clip offers the first glimpse of It: Welcome to Derry and Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, in addition to featuring footage from The Penguin, Dune: Prophecy, and The Franchise.
