_Published 2024-01-16. Now that Hollywood is back in action after both the writers' strike and the actors’ strike came to a resolution late last year, the much delayed and much anticipated 75th Annual Emmy Awards have finally come to pass. While the Emmys are traditionally held in September, they were postponed due to the strikes and landed during Hollywood's traditional awards season, and, less traditionally, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day._

While [_Succession_, _The Bear_, and _Beef_ took home the most awards](https://time.com/6555525/emmy-awards-guide-winners-nominees-host/) at the Emmys on Monday night, the cast and crew of _Better Call Saul_ left the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles empty handed.

But it’s not a new experience for the [highly lauded](https://time.com/6206367/better-call-saul-finale-review/) crime drama series, which first aired in 2015and concluded in 2022\. _Better Call Saul_ now reportedly holds the record for the most Emmy losses, according to trade publication [_Variety_](https://variety.com/2024/tv/awards/emmys-snubs-surprises-2023-1235872623/), which dubbed it “the most snubbed series of all time.”

### More From TIME

The show—which featured actor Bob Odenkirk as [the titular lawyer](https://time.com/3687302/a-sleaze-is-born-in-better-call-saul/) and served as a [prequel](https://time.com/6168125/better-call-saul-breaking-bad/) to the critically acclaimed TV series _Breaking Bad_—has received a whopping [53 Emmy nominations](https://www.emmys.com/shows/better-call-saul) during its six-season run but did not end up winning any.

This year, _Better Call Saul_’s final season was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (which Odenkirk has been nominated for six times), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series. It lost to _Succession_ in all but one category (Jennifer Coolidge of _The White Lotus_ beat _Better Call Saul_’sRhea Seehorn for best supporting actress.)
