The Bear Wins Best Comedy Series at the Emmys

After a strike-related delay, the 75th Emmy Awards are finally here, honoring the best in television from the previous year. When it comes to comedy television, there’s no bigger collective award than Outstanding Comedy Series, a category that has been dominated by a single show over the past couple of years. Ted Lasso took home the prize for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2021 and 2022, winning the top prize for its first two seasons. Fans have been anxious to see if the Apple TV+ series could make it a clean three-for-three with its final season.

This time around, however, Ted Lasso faced its stiffest competition. The series was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series alongside Abbott Elementary, Barry, Jury Duty, Only Murders in the Building, The Bear, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and Wednesday. Of course, only one series can take home the award. In keeping with the theme of the night, The Bear took home the biggest award in the comedy field. FX and Hulu’s acclaimed series won three acting awards early on in the show, and ended the program by winning Outstanding Comedy Series.

Like Ted Lasso, Barry and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel came into the competition having already ended. All three shows have received their fair share of awards love throughout their respective runs.
