Only 2 of 12 shows that won 2024 Primetime Emmys were filmed in L.A.


The Emmys are an L.A. affair.

Sunday’s 76th Primetime Emmy Awards were held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The awards are bestowed by the Television Academy, headquartered in North Hollywood. And many major networks and studios are primarily located in and around the city.

There were even moments in the telecast that felt like small reflections of L.A.’s diverse communities — Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna presented the directing for a limited or anthology series award in Spanish and Hiroyuki Sanada spoke in Japanese during “Shōgun’s” drama series win. They are among the most frequently spoken languages in L.A. County.

But this year’s Emmys telecast was also a reminder of the sheer amount of television that’s now being made outside of L.A. The ceremony’s Canadian hosts, Eugene Levy and Dan Levy, created and starred in the charming Emmy-winning Canadian TV show “Schitt’s Creek.” And a majority of the shows that won awards during the telecast were shot outside of L.A.

Of the 12 shows that took at least one of the 26 prizes handed out at the Emmys on Sunday, only the Las Vegas-set “Hacks,” which won for comedy series, lead comedy actress and comedy writing, and the New York-set “The Morning Show,” which took home supporting actor in a drama series, are primarily filmed in L.A.

The 10 other series, including awards juggernauts “Shōgun,” “The Bear” and “Baby Reindeer,” were mostly filmed in other states or overseas. “Baby Reindeer,” “The Crown,” “The Traitors” and “Slow Horses” were all largely filmed in the U.K.

The Emmy nominees and winners can’t provide a full picture of the state of Hollywood production or even an accurate map of current industry trends, but at a time when there is a scarcity of local television jobs, it’s hard not to notice the statistic.

Film and TV production in L.A. has yet to bounce back following Hollywood’s double strike. Local filming declined 12.4% year-over-year from April through June, according to nonprofit FilmLA, which tracks on-location permitting in the city. Reality TV production plunged by 57% compared with the prior year.

Here is the list of shows that won at least one Primetime Emmy Award on Sunday, along with their primary shooting location.
