The Ryan Murphy-led series offers a grave retelling of Jeffrey Dahmer's notorious late 80s and early 90s crimes.

Emmy recipient: best supporting actor in a limited series awarded to Paul Walter Hauser

Paul Walter Hauser's enigmatic portrayal of suspected serial killer Larry Hall cemented Black Bird's success when it debuted on Apple in July 2022.

Winner of the Emmy for: best talk series

With Last Week Tonight no longer in the talk-series category, there was room at the Emmys for a new winner—that is, a new winner that has won 26 Emmys over the course of its various iterations on air.
