‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ breaks record for most Emmy losses in single year

Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” entered Sunday night’s Primetime Emmy Awards with 21 nominations, placing third behind “The Crown,” which had 24 names, and “WandaVision” with 23. But after the weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys Last and Sunday night’s ceremony, the 15 Emmy winner came out zero for 21, setting a record for most Emmy losses in a single year.

“The Handmaid’s Tale” beat AMC’s “Mad Men,” which won 17 Emmy nominations in 2012, taking none.

“Northern Exposure” and “The Larry Sanders Show” have also come out empty in previous years, dropping to zero for 16 in 1993 and 1997, respectively.

Elisabeth Moss stars as Offred in Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” based on Margaret Atwood’s book.

Elizabeth with a Moss Front “The Handmaid’s Tale “is entering its fifth season, and the team behind the dystopian series are in talks with Hulu over whether to end it with Season 5 or continue.

“The success of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ remains paramount to us,” Jordan Helman, head of Scripted Originals at Hulu, told Deadline last month. “That said, what’s also most important to us is that we wrap up this show in a creative way that feels organic, so we’re in constant communication, literally right now, talking with Bruce. [Miller], Lizzie [Moss] and Warren [Littlefield], on the best way to complete “The Handmaid’s Tale”. We haven’t found an answer… I imagine we will be able to answer this question in the months to come. “
