Searing teen murder saga “Adolescence” was the big winner at Sunday’s Emmy Awards, claiming eight prizes including best limited series, while “The Pitt” prevailed in a tight race for best drama at television’s equivalent of the Oscars.
Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire “The Studio” dominated the comedy categories, earning best series honours and an overall total of 13 Emmys — a new record for comedies.
“Adolescence” was arguably 2025’s most talked-about TV hit. The British series for Netflix is the grim cautionary tale of a fictional 13-year-old schoolboy arrested on suspicion of murdering a female classmate with a knife.
Its examination of toxic masculinity among young boys, and the horrific messages they are exposed to via smartphones and social media, prompted debate around the world.
“Adolescence” won a total of eight Emmys including best limited series — awarded to shows that end after one season — as well as prizes for writing, directing, lead actor, supporting actress and supporting actor.
The latter went to 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who became the youngest ever male actor to win an Emmy.
“Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple of years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind here,” he said.
