Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale set an Emmys record this year, but not in the way the streamer likely anticipated. The Elisabeth Moss-led series received 21 total nominations, trailing just behind The Crown and The Mandalorian‘s 24 nominations and WandaVision‘s 23. But after Sunday’s Primetime Emmys and last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, The Handmaid’s Tale unexpectedly went home empty, breaking the record for most Emmy losses in a single year.
This record was previously held by AMC’s Mad Men, which was nominated for 17 Emmys in 2012 and won none. Previously, shows like Northern Exposure and The Larry Sanders show went zero for 16 in 1993 and 1997, respectively.
The Handmaid’s Tale has won 15 Emmy Awards over the course of its run, including outstanding drama series, outstanding lead actress in a drama series for Moss, and outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for Ann Dowd.
Hulu’s dystopian drama has been renewed for a fifth season, although discussions about when the series will end are still ongoing.
“The success of The Handmaid’s Tale remains paramount for us,” Head of Scripted Originals at Hulu Jordan Helman told Deadline in August. “That said, what is also most important to us is that we close out the show in creative fashion that feels organic so we are in constant communication, literally right now… about what the best way to end The Handmaid’s Tale is.”
The Handmaid’s Tale was created by Bruce Miller, and is based on Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name. The series is executive produced by Miller, Moss, Warren Littlefield, Daniel Wilson, Fran Sears, Ilene Chaiken, Eric Tuchman, John Weber, Sheila Hockin, and Frank Siracuusa.
