Among the company's highlights was Pop TV's "Schitt's Creek," which 42West has been representing since 2018.

Creator/Executive Producer/Star Daniel Levy also made history for the most Emmy wins in one night with four.
42West also served as a consultant for HBO, which led all networks by winning 30 Emmy Awards. HBO's winners included "Watchmen," which won Outstanding Limited Series and was the most-honored program of the year with 11 wins; "Succession," which won Outstanding Drama Series and tied as the third most-honored series with seven awards; and, "Bad Education" which won the award for Outstanding Television Movie.
42West's Crafts division represented Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," which received four Creative Arts Emmys for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour), Outstanding Music Supervision, Outstanding Period and/or Character Make-up and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour).
"What an incredible, history-making Emmy night for 42West and its clients," said Bill O'Dowd, CEO of Dolphin Entertainment. "To represent the winning program in all 3 televised categories of Comedy, Drama and Limited Series, and to passionately represent the first series to ever sweep the comedy category as well as to sweep all four acting awards in either comedy or drama, is a true testament to the company's expertise and passion for television.
