TV’s biggest night is here. The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards take place at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT Monday, Sept. 15, from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, airing live on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
Two 2025 winners, “Hacks” and “The Pitt,” head into the evening with the most nominations: 25 and 24, respectively. But “Widow’s Bay,” the season’s buzziest breakout, has been building momentum and confirmed its might at the Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 6, where it won eight categories, the most of any nominee. The horror comedy from creator Katie Dippold appears to be coming for your crown, “Hacks.”
The current best drama series title holder, “The Pitt,” is hoping to overcome a serious threat of its own: “Pluribus.” The two shows tied on night 2 of the Creative Arts Emmys, pocketing four wins apiece. HBO Max’s beloved hospital drama beat “Pluribus” for casting and guest actor in a drama series (Ernest Harden Jr.), while “Pluribus” bested its rival for production design, picture editing and sound mixing.
In the limited series category, the wind appears to be in the sails of “DTF St. Louis,” whose six wins from the Creative Arts Emmys indicate voters like it a lot more than the show’s relatively low profile would have suggested. There isn’t as clear a frontrunner in this year’s race as there has been recently with “Beef,” “Baby Reindeer” and “Adolescence,” but having beat Season 2 of “Beef” in acting, writing and directing categories at the Creative Arts Emmys, “DTF St. Louis” is the likely champ here.
Below is the complete list of winners, which we’ll be updating live, so stick around.
