2026 Primetime Emmy Nominations Led by 'The Pitt'
Primetime Emmy Awards 2026: See the full list of nominees
The nominees for the 78th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled Wednesday, with Hollywood honoring a slew of new shows and setting up what’s expected to be a battle among two legends in the race for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series.
Apple TV was one of Wednesday’s big winners, with its new series “Pluribus,” “Margot’s Got Money Troubles,” and “Widow’s Bay” all making strong showings. But Emmys voters also continued to honor returning favorites like “The Pitt,” which again dominated the drama categories. The HBO Max medical drama notched 25 nominations, the most of any show.
Elsewhere in the drama categories, “Euphoria” was snubbed in the top category after a divisive final season, but still earned acting nods for Zendaya and Colman Domingo. Meanwhile, “Heated Rivalry” fans angry at the show’s lack of nominations should put their pitchforks down. The gay hockey drama wasn’t eligible for Emmys because it’s an entirely Canadian production. But co-lead Connor Storrie got an Emmy nod anyway for his guest appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”
In the comedy categories, fans in the lead actress category seem set for a full civil war, with the likely frontrunners being Lisa Kudrow for “The Comeback” and Jean Smart for “Hacks,” both of whom gave stellar turns in the final seasons of their respective series. Smart has already won four Emmys for her role as Deborah Vance in the HBO comedy, while Kudrow has won just once in 1998 in the supporting category for her iconic role as Phoebe Buffay in “Friends.”
The other big headline in the outstanding comedy category? The strong showing from “Widow’s Bay,” which earned 19 nominations. The horror-comedy, which stars Matthew Rhys as mayor of an island experiencing supernatural phenomena, has been a huge word-of-mouth hit for Apple TV.
Despite growing increasingly stale among viewers and critics with each passing season, “The Bear” still managed to earn a nomination for outstanding comedy series. But while Ayo Edebiri and late Hollywood legend Rob Reiner received nominations for their work on the show, star Jeremy Allen White was snubbed despite previously winning his category twice.
Wednesday was a particularly good day for Rhys, who also scored a nomination in the limited series category for his turn as a menacing billionaire in “The Beast in Me,” opposite costar Claire Danes, who similarly picked up a nod. Rhys’ wife, Keri Russell of “The Diplomat,” was also honored for her role as a steely US ambassador on that Netflix drama.
The Emmy Awards will be hosted by “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay and will air live on Monday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on NBC, streaming on Peacock.

Nearly a year after wildfires tore through Mountain Center, the scars are still visible along the Palms to Pines Highway. Now, fire crews are working to repair those burn areas and reduce the risk of flooding, erosion and mudslides when heavy rain arrives. The work includes fire-line suppression repairs, water bars and other measures designed to slow rainwater and keep burned soil from washing away. CAL FIRE Riverside County Battalion Chief Ryan Lubin says the steep terrain, dry brush and limited access continue to create challenges for mountain communities. With El Niño conditions expected to bring periods of heavy rain, officials say preparing now could help protect homes and communities from the aftermath of wildfire. The message from firefighters: preparation can save lives.
