LOS ANGELES — The 2026 Emmy nominations have been revealed.

HBO's emergency medical drama "The Pitt" was the top nominee with 25 total nominations. The premium cable network's intergenerational comedy comeback story, "Hacks," meanwhile, earned 24 nominations. Other top nominees include Apple TV's freshman offerings "Widow's Bay" and "Pluribus," which nabbed a respective 19 and 18 nods a piece.

With its 24 nominations, "Hacks" set a new record for most nominations in a year by a comedy series. The previous record of 23 nods set by "The Bear" in 2024 and matched by "The Studio" in 2025.

"[The nominees'] creativity and talent remind us why television remains one of our most powerful art forms," Television Academy chair Cris Abrego said in his introductory remarks Wednesday morning. "While these nominations recognize individual achievement, they also celebrate the collaborative spirit that defines our industry. Every nomination today is a result of countless people coming together to create work that moves us, entertains us, and, above all, inspires us.

Previous Emmy winners Liza Colón-Zayas, known for her role as no-nonsense chef Tina on FX's culinary dramedy "The Bear," and Jeff Hiller, the "Widow's Bay" actor who also portrayed sweet and lovable best friend Joel on HBO's tender comfort-watch "Somebody, Somewhere," were on hand at the Television Academy's Wolf Theatre to joke about their nerves — and height difference — while presenting the nominations.

The nominees for variety series and reality competition program were announced before the main nominations ceremony on NBC's "Today" show.

The 78th Emmy Awards will be held on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Hosted by "Law & Order: SVU" star Mariska Hargitay, the live telecast will air on NBC and stream on Peacock. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which honors artistic and technical achievements as well as some performance categories, will be held on Sept. 5 and 6.
