'Widow's Bay' made a significant impact at the early Emmy ceremonies, securing eight awards for its inaugural season on Apple TV.
The horror-comedy series features Matthew Rhys as a mayor grappling with a centuries-old curse in a small New England town.
Notable wins for 'Widow's Bay' included cinematography, sound, and music, alongside a best guest actress award for Betty Gilpin.
'Our business is stupid, but actors are the bomb,' Gilpin quipped in a humorous acceptance speech.

'The Pitt,' HBO Max's acclaimed medical drama, also performed well, taking home four awards, including best guest actor in a drama for Ernest Harden Jr.
Harden, overwhelmed by his win, expressed his gratitude for being recognized after decades in the industry.
'Just to get it in your hands is unreal,' he said backstage.

The Television Academy rebranded the Creative Arts Emmys this year, presenting most awards over two nights before the main ceremony.
This year's event included major categories previously reserved for the main telecast, elevating the profile of these early awards.
The upcoming main Emmy Awards ceremony on September 14 at the Peacock Theater will feature both 'Widow's Bay' and 'The Pitt' competing for additional honors.
The ceremony will be hosted by Mariska Hargitay and will be broadcast live on NBC.
