'The Pitt' won Outstanding Drama Series last year. Will it repeat at the Sept 14 Emmys?

"The Pitt" repeated as Outstanding Drama Series winner at the Sept. 14, 2026 Emmy Awards, successfully defending the title it won a year earlier. The HBO Max medical drama, created by R. Scott Gemmill, arrived as the field's most-nominated series with 25 nominations and converted that strength into back-to-back wins in the category.
The repeat came alongside a second consecutive Emmy for star Noah Wyle in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, though "The Pitt" was shut out of the supporting actor drama race despite fielding three of the seven nominees, with that award going to Tom Pelphrey for "Task." HBO Max credited "The Pitt" with six total wins for the season, contributing to the network's second-place finish behind Apple TV's 28 wins in the overall tally.
Back-to-back Outstanding Drama Series wins are relatively uncommon in a category that often rotates among prestige dramas each year, making "The Pitt"'s repeat a notable outcome for a show that had generated strong reviews and audience interest since its 2025 debut.
The Predict Six community had set solid odds, 64% yes, on a repeat, and the outcome matched that expectation.
