Netflix’s Arcane series wins Emmy award for animation - The Verge
Arcane, the Netflix series based on the League of Legends game, is the first streaming exclusive to take home the Emmy award for Outstanding Animated Program.
Arcane, the popular Netflix animated series based on the League of Legends video game, has won the award for Outstanding Animated Program at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony, on top of the three other animation-related trophies it earned earlier this year.
This marks the first time that a streaming-exclusive show has won the award, despite growing competition in recent years. Arcane beat another streaming exclusive, Marvel’s What If…? (available to watch on Disney Plus), as well as non-streaming offerings from Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, and Rick and Morty, to the punch. Previous years have seen entries from other Netflix animated shows, such as Big Mouth and BoJack Horseman, nominated for the award.
