Move over, “Bear.” There is a new comedy champion in town.
“The studio“Ended Emmy Season in Glory on Sunday Night, Taking Home 13 Awards and Setting Two New Records before the end of the night. Its record haul was made up of nine wins at the creative arts Emmys on sept. 6 – Including outstanding guest guest acts in a comedy Comedy Series -and an Additional Set of Wins at the Primetime Emmys on Sunday, Including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Seth Rogen), outstanding director for a comedy series, outstanding writing for a comedy series.
Trophy Trove made the Apple TV+ series for the new holder of two discs that were previously canceled by FX’s “The Bear.” “The Studio” broke the record as the comedy series with the most Emmy winners for a single season and pressed before “The Bear”, whose 11 Emmys for their second season set a new milestone just last year. (In spite of its record-breaking move, “The Bear” lost the outstanding Comedy Series Award to “Hacks.”)
“The Studio” also had the winning first season in a comedy series – an achievement “The Bear” claimed in 2023 with 10 awards.
“Studio” follows Seth Rogen as Matt Remick, a lifelong film fan promoted to the studio manager. When Remick rises to his dream job, he realizes that he must go the uncomfortable line between art and trade. Rogen and long collaborator Evan Goldberg created the show with Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez.
The reasons for the “Studio’s” dominance include its viewing on Creative Arts Emmys. While “The Bear’s” record season made seven CAE victories in 2024, “The Studio” earned nine. In addition to being a compelling comedy, the “studio” is technically sophisticated, which makes extensive use of long, complicated tags. Its crafts made it possible to take all the creative art categories where “Björnen” won – film, image editing, audio editing, sound mixing and guest games – but also add gains for production design, contemporary costumes and music surveillance.
Happiness for “The Studio” also reflects how the TV Academy has cooled on the once unbeatable FX series about culinary greatness. In just one year, “Bear” fell from 11 wins to Points None 2025. It is a record decline that comes in the midst of weaker reviews for “The Bear” seasons 3 and 4 and, perhaps even more significant, widespread debate about whether the largely dramatic show should compete as a comedy.
A sign that voters may have noted that debate came last year, when the show set their record for victories but then lost the outstanding comedy series Emmy to Season 3 of HBO Max’s “Hacks”, a show about …comedian.
With this in mind, it is not difficult to see how the “studio” crossed the finish line as the new master. The show is both a throw and development of traditional sitcoms, with each section after a single, largely non-materialized premise with high production value and a steady stream of laughter.
