Apple TV's "Widow's Bay" swept the Emmy Awards, setting a new single-season record with 14 wins, including best comedy series and best actor for Matthew Rhys, who claimed three trophies. "The Pitt," an HBO Max series, secured best drama series for the second consecutive year, with Noah Wyle winning best actor in a drama for the third time.
However, "The Pitt" failed to win any other awards and underperformed. Rhea Seehorn claimed best actress in a drama for "Pluribus," while Jean Smart won her fifth best actress in a comedy award for her final season in "Hacks." No actor has won Emmys for consecutive years on multiple series until Smart achieved it on "Hacks." Each comedy award went to "Widow's Bay," which dominated the night and broke last year's record held by "The Studio" with 13 wins for a first-year Apple TV show.
Rhys expressed excitement backstage, saying the celebrations would be long, varied, and possibly wild.
