Apple TV’s horror-comedy “Widow’s Bay” wins a record 14 Emmy Awards, the most for any comedy series in a single year. The show takes eight awards at the Creative Arts ceremonies and six more during the Emmy telecast, bringing its weekend total to 14.
The win also gives “Widow’s Bay” the Emmy for Best Comedy Series. Multiple outlets note the show surpasses the prior comedy record set by Apple TV’s “The Studio,” which had won 13 Emmys the previous year. Deadline and Variety also emphasize that the victory follows a highly watched Best Comedy Series race.
Outside of the comedy field, sources include other major results. Cyprus Mail reports that “The Pitt,” an emergency room drama, repeats as Best Drama. While the outlets vary in tone—some highlighting the record more directly—there is broad agreement on the figures and categories: 14 total comedy-series Emmys for “Widow’s Bay,” including Best Comedy Series.
