'Succession' sweeps Primetime Emmy Awards 2024

The prestigious Primetime Emmy Awards unfolded at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, with "Succession" dominating the night by securing the most trophies.

After months of delay due to the Hollywood artists’ prolonged strike, the 75th annual event finally took place on January 15, which was originally scheduled for September 2023.

Being the most-nominated series of 2023, 'Succession' emerged as a prominent winner at the Emmy Awards, alongside the acclaimed drama series 'Beef' and 'The Bear.

‘Succession,’ the critically acclaimed drama about a media mogul and the power struggles between his dysfunctional family, concluded last year after four seasons.

The comedy-drama series received significant recognition, securing accolades such as the best drama series and awards for writing and directing. Its lead actors Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin were honoured as the best leading actress and actor.

‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ each claimed six awards in the drama and comedy categories, respectively. On the other hand, Netflix's ‘Beef,’ inspired by road rage, garnered rewards in the limited series categories.
