The hit FX Original “The Bear” broke a record for a comedy series, racking up the most Emmy nominations ever in that genre.
Nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards were announced Wednesday morning. The FX drama series “Shogun” led the total nominations with 25, while “The Bear” made second place overall with 23. Prior to 2024, the most Emmy nominations for a comedy series went to NBC’s “30 Rock,” which received 22 nods in 2009.
“The Bear” documents the drama of a Chicago-based sandwich shop that goes through a drastic transformation after the owner takes his life. Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) leaves the world of fine dining to run his late brother’s popular spot, then eventually transforms it into a totally different type of restaurant with the help of a supporting cast, including Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colon-Zoyas, Abby Elliot, and others.
