- DTF St. Louis won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with showrunner Steven Conrad accepting on behalf of the cast.
- HBO's DTF St. Louis stars Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini in a love triangle that leads to death and a murder investigation, and earned 13 nominations including bids for its three principal actors and supporting actors Richard Jenkins and Joy Sunday.
- DTF St. Louis entered Monday as the heavy favorite after sweeping six Creative Arts Emmys in the weeks before, including Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
- David Harbour and Linda Cardellini both scored their first-ever Emmy wins for their roles in the series at the Creative Arts ceremony.
- Netflix's Adolescence held the Limited or Anthology Series title in 2025, meaning this year's prize shifts the category from streaming back to premium cable.
- Mariska Hargitay hosted the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards live from the Peacock Theater, with The Pitt topping the most-nominated list ahead of Hacks, Widow's Bay, and Beef.
Why it matters: The win moves the Limited Series crown from Netflix (Adolescence, 2025) back to HBO, reinforcing the network's strength in prestige limited series. With 13 nominations, six Creative Arts Emmys, and the top prize, DTF St. Louis was a sweep rather than an upset — and first-ever Emmy wins for David Harbour and Linda Cardellini mark career-defining moments for both actors.
