Apple TV’s “Widow’s Bay” broke the record for the most Emmy wins<\/a> for a comedy series on a single night, scoring 14 wins including Best Comedy Series.<\/p>\n

Emmy’s history is short. The record for comedy wins has been set four times since 2020: “Schitt’s Creek” set it with 9 in 2020, “The Bear” reset it at 10 in January 2024, “The Bear” broke its own record with 11 in September 2024, and “The Studio” broke that record with 13 last year.<\/p>\n

“Widow’s Bay,”<\/a> an original horror-comedy series from the mind of Katie Dippold, stars Matthew Rhys as the mayor of a small New England town who is working to prove it’s not haunted. Nevertheless, spooky goings-on plague the town and the mayor.<\/p>\n

“Hacks” set the record for the most Emmy nominations for a comedy series with 24 nods this year, but “Widow’s Bay” took the winner’s record.<\/p>\n

Here are all the Emmy awards that “Widow’s Bay” won this year:<\/p>\n

Outstanding Comedy Series<\/p>\n

Outstanding Actor in a Comedy \u2013 Matthew Rhys<\/p>\n

Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy \u2013 Kate O’Flynn<\/p>\n
