Satirical comedy-drama series Succession won big at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards by taking home six Emmys.
The annual gala, which is hosted every year to honor the best of television, was supposed to be held last year. However, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes during that time, it had to be postponed.
The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards were broadcast on Fox on January 15, 2024, at 8 pm EST. The show was held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and was hosted by actor and comedian Anthony Anderson.
The entries for the Emmys consisted of shows that ran from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. The number of awards given away during the night totaled a whopping 26.
Succession and The Bear led the award night by registering six wins each. They were closely followed by the comedy-drama Beef, which took home five awards.
