13 Sep
Summary
- 'The Pitt' could make Emmy history with a second consecutive Best Drama win.
- The show's potential repeat marks the first such achievement since 2009.
- A comedy race faces stiff competition between 'Widow's Bay' and 'Hacks'.
The 2026 Emmy Awards, held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles, are set to honor television's best programming from the past year. The medical drama "The Pitt" is a strong contender, aiming for a repeat win in the Best Drama category. If successful, this would be the first time a series has secured the top drama award for its initial two seasons since "Mad Men" achieved this in 2009. This significant achievement could place "The Pitt" closer to the Emmy record books.
The evening's events will also highlight a compelling contest in the Best Comedy race. The freshman horror-comedy series "Widow's Bay" faces off against the seasoned performer "Hacks" in what is anticipated to be one of the night's most closely watched showdowns. A total of 19 awards will be distributed across various genres, including dramas, comedies, reality, and late-night shows, recognizing excellence in series that aired between June 2025 and May 2026.
