The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series is an award presented since 1951 by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS). The award goes to the producers of the series. The award is often cited as one of the "main awards" at the Emmys ceremonies.

“Succession” won outstanding drama series, and stars Kieran Culkin (lead actor in a drama), Sarah Snook (lead actress in a drama) and Matthew Macfadyen (supporting actor in a drama) each won awards.

Law,” “The West Wing,” “Mad Men” and “Game of Thrones” — hold the record for most wins in this category with four each. “Hill Street Blues,” “The West Wing” and “Mad Men” all accomplished that feat in consecutive years. HBO's “Game of Thrones” is also the most-winningest scripted series in Emmy history at 59 trophies.

The Emmy Awards are the highest honor for work in television. The Television Academy's various awards ceremonies cover shows and programs on all the major networks, plus cable channels (since 1988) and streaming services (since 2013).
