Netflix just turned up to the 2026 Emmys, and it practically booted the front door off its hinges. This time, the OTT has gone and bagged a massive 111 Emmy nominations across 34 different titles, which is just bonkers when you think about it. Once again, they’ve shown they are still top dogs when it comes to giving us stuff to binge.

Whether it’s edge-of-your-seat thrillers or fancy prestige dramas, be they reality TV or romances everyone’s obsessed with, Netflix has managed to get a foot in nearly every category. Looks like somebody understood the assignment.

Stealing the show is BEEF, which absolutely scoffed at the nominations, and yes, the pun is fully intended. The second season walked away with a huge 16 nods, making it the biggest winner in Netflix’s lineup. It’s up for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, while Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Youn Yuh-jung have all received acting nominations too. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s also picking up love for the directing, writing, editing, cinematography, costumes, sound, and even the stunt work. Someone had better clear a bit more room on the trophy shelf.

Right behind it is The Beast in Me, roaring in with nine nominations of its own. Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys have both grabbed lead acting nominations, while the psychological thriller has also been recognised for its writing, music, casting, costumes and sound editing. Not bad at all for a newcomer that’s clearly got people talking.

Then there is The Diplomat, still proving it’s immune to having a bad day. It’s picked up seven nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, while Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell are back getting the credit they deserve.

Speaking of seven nominations, Black Rabbit and Monster: The Ed Gein Story aren’t exactly sitting in the corner either. Jason Bateman’s moody crime thriller has received nominations for acting, directing, cinematography, editing, costumes, score and sound mixing. Meanwhile, Charlie Hunnam’s creepy turn as Ed Gein has earned him a well-deserved lead actor nomination, while the series has also cleaned up with nominations for makeup, prosthetics, costumes, cinematography and sound. Bit creepy? Of course it is. Emmy-worthy? Sure looks like it.

But it isn’t all murder, misery and people giving each other the death stare.

Love on the Spectrum carried on its feel-good run with five nominations, while Nobody Wants This proved we are all still suckers for a good rom-com, picking up nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series and Music Supervision.

Over on the film side of things, People We Meet on Vacation has booked itself a place in the Outstanding Movie race, while Remarkably Bright Creatures reeled in three nominations, including Outstanding Movie and a Lead Actress nomination for the one and only Sally Field. A talking octopus ending up in awards season? Go ahead, then; we are all for it.

And because Netflix wasn’t finished showing off, big hitters like Stranger Things, Wednesday, Bridgerton and Emily in Paris all chipped in with plenty of craft nominations too. These shows have covered everything from visual effects and choreography to costumes, makeup, hair and production design.

So yeah, long story short, Netflix has absolutely cleaned up. Doesn’t matter what you are into, chances are one of your favourites is in with a shout.
