The show beat The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, What If…?, and Bob’s Burgers to secure the award. It is the first streaming series to win in that category.
“Honoured doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel about winning the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program,” the show’s official Twitter account posted earlier today.
“Thank you for this,” said Arcane co-creator Christian Linke when they picked up the award (thanks, Deadline).
It’s been amazing to see the world embrace our characters and our stories so thanks to Netflix who believed in us from the beginning, thanks to Riot Games
Who worked on the whole IP… and to all the people that have been with our game and League of Legends for the last 12 years or so who helped make it as big as it is now.”
