2026 Emmys: HBO Max dominates, streaming push

Entities: Matthew Rhys · 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards · Steve Carell · Yahya Abdul‑Mateen II · Oscar Isaac

Overview

The Television Academy released the 78th Primetime Emmy nominations on July 8, showing HBO Max with a record 122 nominations, ahead of Netflix (111) and Apple TV+ (87). HBO Max’s limited‑series drama *The Pitt* earned 25 nods and the final season of *Hacks* secured 24, making HBO Max the first streaming service since 2017 to lead both drama and comedy categories. *The Pitt* became the most‑nominated drama, while *Hacks* set a comedy‑series record. Apple TV+’s *Widow’s Bay* (19), *Pluribus* (18) and Netflix’s *Beef* (16) rounded out the slate, alongside titles such as *The Diplomat*, *The Gilded Age*, *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms*, *Abbott Elementary* and *The Bear*. Disney+ appeared mainly in technical fields. Ahead of the September 14 ceremony at the Peacock Theatre, platforms promoted fresh content. Netflix added the documentary‑style film *The Voice of Hind Rajab*, recounting the final moments of a six‑year‑old Palestinian girl in Gaza. Prime Video highlighted the romance‑drama *O Drama* starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson; Apple TV+ rolled out the thriller *Lucky*; HBO Max launched the Brazilian crime drama *Meu Nome Não É Johnny*. The Academy also published the Best Series nominees – Netflix’s *The Diplomat*, Apple TV+’s *Pluribus* and *Slow Horses*, HBO Max’s *The Knight of the Seven Kingdoms*, Disney+’s *Paradise* and others – with streaming guidance. Analysts noted that HBO Max’s simultaneous lead in drama and comedy marks only the 18th such occurrence in Emmy history, with double‑category winners previously including NBC’s *Hill Street Blues* and *Cheers* and HBO’s *Game of Thrones* and *Veep* (2016). The nomination race also spotlighted leading performances: Oscar Isaac (*Beef*) and Matthew Rhys (*The Beast In Me*) contending for limited‑series actor, while comedians Steve Carell, Martin Short and others submitted episode‑specific entries for best‑comedy‑actor.
