In 2021, The Crown became the first series to win all seven drama categories at which Emmy Awards?

In 2021, The Crown became the first series to win all seven drama categories at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

The ceremony was held on September 19, 2021, honoring programming from June 1, 2020, through May 31, 2021. The Crown won Outstanding Drama Series, acting awards for Josh O’Connor, Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, and Gillian Anderson, plus directing and writing awards.

The result was more than a best-drama win: it was a sweep of the major drama categories presented at the main ceremony. The Crown also earned additional Creative Arts Emmys, bringing its total to 11 wins across the wider awards cycle.

A common mix-up is the 72nd Emmys, where Schitt’s Creek swept the major comedy categories. The 75th ceremony, in 2023, was associated with major wins for The Bear and Succession, not The Crown.
