15 Sep
Summary
- The Bear won only one Emmy Award at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards.
- Newcomer 'Widow's Bay' secured the Outstanding Comedy Series award.
- Rob Reiner posthumously won for Outstanding Guest Actor.
The acclaimed series, The Bear, concluded its Emmy journey at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on September 14, 2026, with a single award. The highly anticipated ceremony saw the show lose the coveted Outstanding Comedy Series award to the emerging series 'Widow's Bay'.
The Bear had garnered eight nominations for the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, including for its lead actress and director. However, these individual accolades also went to other nominees. The show's sole win was secured at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards prior to the main ceremony. This award was for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series, posthumously given to Rob Reiner for his role in season 4.
Reiner, who passed away in December 2025 at age 78, was honored with a standing ovation. The series, which aired its fifth and final season in June 2026, was also nominated in technical categories but did not win. Despite its strong run since its 2022 premiere, The Bear's Emmy history includes a previous year where it received no wins.
