2026 Emmy Nominations: Full List of Nominees

The 2026 Emmy nominations are out, and it’s time to celebrate the best of TV! Shows like ‘The Pitt’ and ‘Hacks’ are leading the pack this year, with ‘The Pitt’ snagging an impressive 25 nominations and ‘Hacks’ not far behind with 24 nods.

‘The Pitt,’ a medical drama on HBO Max starring Noah Wyle, is making waves with its compelling storytelling and strong performances. The show, which just wrapped its second season in April, is no stranger to Emmy success, having won three statuettes last year, including Best Drama.

Meanwhile, ‘Hacks,’ another HBO Max favorite, has earned 24 nominations for its fifth and final season. Jean Smart, who plays the role of comedian Deborah Vance, has already won Outstanding Lead Actress four times and is a strong contender for a fifth win this year.

Apple TV’s quirky horror/comedy ‘Widow’s Bay’ also made a splash with 19 nominations, showcasing the diverse range of content available to viewers.

Even though it’s no longer on the air, ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ received nine nominations, including a nod in the Variety Series category. The show signed off in May after its cancellation but still managed to make its mark on this year’s Emmy race.

The late Rob Reiner received a posthumous nomination for his work on ‘The Bear,’ a fitting tribute to his talent and contribution to the industry.

You can catch all the excitement of the Emmy nominations on the Emmys website, where the nominations were announced in a live-streamed ceremony. And mark your calendars for the 2026 Emmy Awards on September 14th, hosted by ‘Law & Order: SVU’ star Mariska Hargitay. It’s sure to be a night to remember for TV fans everywhere!
