The nominees for the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards were unveiled this morning and HBO is sitting pretty, topping the leaderboard with The Pitt. <\/p>\n

The Noah Wyle-led medical drama scored 25 nominations on Wednesday, followed by HBO’s Hacks with 24. The buddy comedy about a stand-up legend and her Gen Z writer has also broken the record for the most Emmy nominations for a comedy in its final season. Schitt’s Creek previously held the record at 18. <\/p>\n

Apple TV has a pair of hits on its hands too. Its freshman dark comedy\u00a0Widow’s Bay secured an impressive 19 nods and its post-apocalyptic Pluribus pulled in 16. <\/p>\n

If you’re wondering why Heated Rivalry \u2014 which, like The Pitt and Hacks airs in Canada on Crave \u2014 didn’t get any Emmy love that’s because it couldn’t<\/a>. The hit show was produced and financed solely by Canadian companies and the Primetime Emmys have requirements on foreign productions. <\/p>\n

But co-lead Connor Storrie did score a nomination for his appearance on Saturday Night Live. <\/p>\n

Previous Emmy-winners Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas (The Bear) and Jeff Hiller\u00a0(Somebody Somewhere, Widow\u2019s Bay) presented the nominations from the Wolf Theatre in Los Angeles. The awards ceremony will follow on Sept. 14, hosted by Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay \u2014 the first woman to host the show in 15 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This will also be the first year the Emmys hand out a “legacy award” which, say organizers at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, will go to “programs that have made a ‘profound and lasting impact’ on audiences and remain relevant to society, culture and the industry.\u201d\u00a0It\u2019s the first new Emmy in nearly 20 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
