Emmy Awards: HBO Comes Through With Drama Wins for “The Pitt,” AppleTV Scores Big with “The Studio” Breaking Comedy Record

Share

HBO came through at the end of the 2025 Emmy Awards.

The cable studio won Best Drama and Best Actor in a Drama, as well as Supporting Actress for “The Pitt.”

Meantime, AppleTV scored big time with the most wins ever for a comedy show with “The Studio.” They also posted wins for “Severance.”

“The Studio” won 13 Emmys, breaking the all-time record for most wins for a comedy series. In addition to already breaking the freshman comedy series record, Rogen ties the record for most Emmys won by a single individual in one night, joining Moira Demos (2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (2018) and Dan Levy (2020).

AppleTV was determined to win a lot of Emmys, spent a lot of money, and pulled off a coup.

All the shows that won awards are on cable or streaming. In the case of Apple, no one knows how many people have actually watched them since the streamer doesn’t release numbers.

How did the Emmys fare in the ratings? We’ll know later on tomorrow.
