The Bear Suffers Emmy Shutout After Historic Win Streak

Lead FX’s culinary drama The Bear walked away from the 77th Emmy Awards empty-handed in Los Angeles on Sunday, marking a stark reversal after winning 11 Emmys in 2024.

Nut Graf Once television’s most decorated comedy, The Bear’s third season failed to secure a single trophy, tying the record for the largest single-year drop in Emmy wins and underscoring shifting Academy tastes.

Emmys Upsets and Records Subhead: Biggest Comedy Fall

• After a record-setting haul for Season 2, The Bear ended 2025 with zero wins, matching The Crown for the steepest decline in Emmy history.

Subhead: Competition Triumphs

• Apple TV+’s The Studio seized 13 awards, overtaking The Bear’s previous comedy record.
• Adolescence led all shows with six Emmy victories, while Only Murders in the Building also left the evening winless.

Subhead: Cast Reactions

• Lead actor Jeremy Allen White and co-star Ayo Edebiri were notably absent from the ceremony, opting out of the Peacock Theater event.

Industry Impact The shutout prompts debate over genre classification and the Academy’s evolving criteria, as The Bear straddles comedy and drama in its kitchen-drama storytelling. Observers note that half-hour format comedies are now facing stiffer competition from hour-long dramedies.

Looking Ahead Despite the Emmy reversal, FX has renewed The Bear for a fourth season, signaling confidence in its creative team. The series will return next summer with new culinary challenges for Carmy and his brigade.
