2026 Emmy Awards - Show

“The Pitt” won the Emmy Award for best drama series for the second straight year on Monday night, along with best actor for star Noah Wyle. HBO Max’s 24-hours-in-the-life-of-an-emergency-room series created by R. Scott Gemmill has now won for each of its first two seasons. The series has sought to merge elements of network television from its 1990s peak with streaming-era prestige, and it has paid off with critical acclaim, cultural relevance, and awards like the biggest prize on TV’s biggest night. It won its first best drama Emmy as a rookie upstart and takes its second as a revered favorite, beating fellow nominees including “Pluribus,” “Paradise” and “The Diplomat.”
