After a four-month delay due to the dual writers’ and actors’ strikes, the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards finally handed out awards on Monday night. The ceremony was scheduled for September 2023, but the Hollywood labor disputes for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences moved the show to January 2024. Despite the delay, actor and comedian Anthony Anderson remained as host.
The night’s big winners were Succession, The Bear, and Beef, who combined to win 17 of the 27 awards presented on the telecast. Below, you’ll find information on how to stream all the major winners from the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.
Succession (2018-2023)
After three terrific seasons, Succession creator Jesse Armstrong ended the series after the fourth season. After an epic season 3 finale, season 4 starts 48 hours before GoJo acquires Waystar Royco. After cutting out his children from the acquisition, Logan (Brian Cox) sets his sights on buying PGM. However, the trio of Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Shiv (Sarah Snook) attempt to thwart their father’s plans and buy PGM for themselves.
Succession was met with universal acclaim and garnered 27 nominations, 14 of them in major (program, acting, directing, and writing) categories.

The Bear (2022-)
The TV show that made Americans scream “yes, chef” and “cousin” is The Bear, Hulu’s terrific dramedy about the inner workings of a Chicago restaurant.

With a dirty kitchen and an ill-equipped staff, Carmy works to turn around the failing restaurant.
The Bear has aired two seasons through FX on Hulu. However, the series was honored for its first season, not its second. The Bear received 13 Emmy nominations, winning six during the telecast, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (White), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Ayo Edebiri), and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Ebon Moss-Bachrach).

Season 1 cleaned up at the Emmys with 10 wins in limited or anthology series categories. However, season 2 was forced to compete in the drama categories. The White Lotus season 2 received 23 nominations, winning five, with the lone acting win awarded to Coolidge for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

What starts as a minor incident in a parking lot transforms into a lengthy feud in Lee Sung Jin’s Beef. Danny Chao (Steven Yeun) nearly drives his car into the SUV of Amy Lau (Ali Wong). The incident sparks a road rage event, leading to an unnecessary car chase. From there, Danny and Amy stoop to new lows to exact their revenge on one another.
On the surface, Beef begins as a comedy about a fight between two strangers. However, the show ultimately becomes a bold series about trauma, anger, and personal hardship. Nominated for 13 Emmys, Beef ended the night with five major awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Yeun), and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Wong).
