The Emmys were something of a coronation farewell at a distance for Schitt's Creek on Sunday night, with the beloved comedy sweeping the comedy categories for its final season. Did it win the most Emmys in a single year in history? Not quite, but the show did break an impressive record and make history in multiple ways.
With its nine Emmy wins on Sunday night, Schitt's Creek became the first show in Emmys history to sweep all seven major awards in a single genre: best series, best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, best directing, and best writing. No show in history has ever achieved that full sweep in a single season before! Adding these seven to the two awards from the Creative Arts Emmys (for contemporary costumes and for casting) brought the total to nine, breaking the record for most Emmy wins by a comedy series in a single season.
