Rhea Seehorn Jokes Even a Beta Blocker Can't Stop Her From Crying After Emmys 2026 Win
Seehorn’s win gives Pluribus its fifth Emmy as the Apple TV series reaches 18 nominations overall.
- On Monday, Rhea Seehorn won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Apple TV's Pluribus at the 78th Emmy Awards held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, marking her first Primetime Emmy win.
- Creator Vince Gilligan reunites with Seehorn on this series, following their work together on the Breaking Bad prequel Better Call Saul. She plays Carol Sturka, a pessimistic author in a post-apocalyptic reality.
- Despite Better Call Saul earning 53 nominations without a win, prognosticators noted recognition for Seehorn was long overdue. She bested fellow nominees Keri Russell, Carrie Coon, Chase Infiniti, and Zendaya.
- During her acceptance speech, Seehorn thanked the crew, producers, writers, and Sony and Apple for enabling the production. She quoted Gloria Steinem: "We are linked, not ranked, and I feel that way about all you women."
- Writing for Season 2 has wrapped and filming is expected to begin this fall, Gilligan confirmed last month. A return date remains unannounced, though production momentum continues.
