HBO drama Succession, Hulu’s The Bear and Netflix’s Beef have once again emerged as awards darlings after scooping the majority of accolades between them at the 2023 Emmys.

Their wins come just days after the three shows dominated at the Golden Globes to take home the lion’s share of awards, with many of the accolades mirroring their wins there.

Succession, the Jesse Armstrong-created series centered around the Roy family, was named Outstanding Drama Series, with stars Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin winning Outstanding Lead Actress and Lead Actor in a Drama Series, respectively.
