While the Emmy winner for Best Drama Series is expected to be an incredibly fierce competition, it appears we have a frontrunner after all.
HBO Max’s freshman drama “The Pitt” was the year’s big winner at the 41st Annual Television Critics Association (TCA) Awards, the title landing four prizes overall — including program of the year, outstanding achievement in drama, outstanding new program and individual achievement in drama (for star Noah Wyle).
The title essentially swept all the dramatic categories, beating out many nominess it will go up against at the Emmys next month including “Andor,” “Severance,” “The Last of Us,” and “The White Lotus” as well as others that didn’t make the final Emmys drama series list like “Interview with the Vampire,” “Matlock” and “Industry”.
Everything else won one award each including “Adolescence” for outstanding mini-series, “The Studio” for outstanding comedy, and Bridget Everett’s performance in “Somebody Somewhere” winning individual achievement in comedy (for star Bridget Everett).
Also winning were “Doctor Who” for Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming, “The Traitors” for Outstanding Achievement in Reality, “Pee-wee as Himself” for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information, “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” and “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” for Outstanding Achievement in Variety, Talk or Sketch.
Meanwhile, new details on the second season of “The Pitt” are up at EW with showrunner R. Scott Gemmill confirming the new run is set ten months later on July 4th and on the first day Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) is back at work post-rehab.
