Overview
- The Pitt led all drama series in the 2026 Emmy race with 25 total nominations, including 13 acting nods, according to the announcements made on Wednesday.
- Sepideh Moafi earned her first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi.
- Hours after the nominations were revealed on Wednesday, Moafi said she was ‘‘over the moon’’ and several outlets reported she may be the first Iranian and first woman from the Middle East/North Africa nominated in this specific category, a claim the coverage described as limited and in need of verification.
- Late in Season 2 the show revealed Al-Hashimi’s seizure disorder and the professional strain it caused, storylines that critics and Moafi cited as central to the performance that drew awards attention.
- Season 3 is in production for a 2027 release on HBO Max, and Moafi has teased a tonal or ‘‘temperature’’ shift that will change Robby–Al-Hashimi dynamics while the Emmy momentum is likely to raise the series’ visibility going forward.
