- DTF St. Louis won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, held Monday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles
- The HBO series, about a bizarre love triangle leading to death and a murder investigation, stars Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini, with showrunner Steven Conrad accepting the award on behalf of the cast
- DTF St. Louis entered the ceremony as the favorite after scoring 13 total nominations and winning six Creative Arts Emmys, including Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie
- Harbour and Cardellini each earned their first-ever Emmy wins for their roles at the Creative Arts ceremony, with supporting nominations also going to Richard Jenkins and Joy Sunday
- The series took the category from Netflix's Adolescence, which won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series in 2025
- Mariska Hargitay hosted the ceremony live from the Peacock Theater, where The Pitt led all series in nominations, followed by Hacks, Widow's Bay, and Beef
Why it matters: HBO reclaimed the limited series Emmy from Netflix after Adolescence took the category in 2025, with DTF St. Louis converting its position as frontrunner into seven total wins across the Creative Arts and Primetime ceremonies. First-time Emmy wins for Harbour and Cardellini validate the show's 13-nomination haul and cap a dominant awards-season run for HBO's prestige limited-series slate.
