The 2026 Emmy nominations are topped by HBO’s hospital drama “The Pitt” and comedy “Hacks,” announced Wednesday. “The Pitt” leads all series with 25 nominations, while “Hacks” follows closely with 24, both reflecting strong performances across acting and other categories. Multiple outlets report that “Hacks” secures major recognition for its final season and sets a comedy record for the most nominations received by a comedy in a single year. “The Pitt,” which is returning with a second season, also earns nominations for key performers, including Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa, with Wyle and LaNasa again appearing among the acting contenders. While “Half-Man,” described as a follow-up connected to Richard Gadd’s “Baby Reindeer,” receives only one nomination, other programs and newcomers are recognized as part of the overall slate. The nominations highlight HBO’s prominence this year, with “The Pitt” and “Hacks” accounting for a large share of the top-category attention.
