“Widow’s Bay” was the night’s big winner at the Emmys on Monday, capping off a stellar run for Apple TV’s freshman comedy, from writer and creator Katie Dippold.

Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root and Kate O’Flynn took home trophies for their performances in the spooky horror-comedy, which is like “Parks and Recreation” in the world of John Carpenter. Earlier this month, Betty Gilpin won for her guest-starring role at the Creative Arts Emmys. Check it out on Apple TV if you haven’t seen it yet.

But if you’ve already binged “Widow’s Bay,” there is more to tide you over from the winners. Rhys also won for his dramatic performance in the Netflix limited series “The Beast in Me.” His wife, Keri Russell, was nominated for her performance in the Netflix series “The Diplomat.” The pair met while shooting the acclaimed spy series “The Americans,” which is streaming on Hulu, so if you’ve never seen it or need a rewatch, catch up on everything Rhys-Russell in the offseason.

British actress Kate O’Flynn won for her role as Patricia in “Widow’s Bay,” and be sure to keep an eye out for her in the next Mike Leigh film “Tender Loving Care,” in theaters in December. But she also appeared in the Prime Video historical romantasy series “My Lady Jane” in 2024, playing Princess Mary.

Character actor Root has been on screens forever — you’ll remember his turn as Milton in “Office Space” (available to rent), but he was also excellent in Bill Hader’s Los Angeles crime series “Barry” on HBO Max.

“Widow’s Bay” director Hiro Murai also made history at the Emmys, becoming the first Asian director to win Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. Murai also produced “The Bear” and directed episodes of “Atlanta" (streaming on Hulu), “Station Eleven” (HBO Max) and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” (Prime Video) so there are plenty of other opportunities to check out his work.

On the drama side, things were split, with Noah Wyle taking best lead actor for “The Pitt,” which also won best drama series. Allison Janney for “The Diplomat” (Netflix) and Tom Pelphrey in “Task” (HBO Max) peeled off the supporting wins for drama series, and Rhea Seahorn took best lead actress for the Apple TV show “Pluribus.”

Sally Field won for her performance in the Netflix film “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” delivering one of her signature ebullient acceptance speeches. Pay tribute to her long, amazing career, and the late, great Dolly Parton by streaming “Steel Magnolias” on Paramount+, Netflix or Tubi.
