Arcane, the hit series from Riot Games and Fortiche Productions, has clinched the Outstanding Animated Program award at the 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards. This win, along with the award for Outstanding Sound Editing, highlights the series’ exceptional storytelling and technical prowess.
Riot Games and Fortiche Productions’ acclaimed series Arcane has once again made waves, winning the award for Outstanding Animated Program at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards held this weekend in Los Angeles. This victory comes for the season two episode titled “The Dirt Under Your Nails,” marking a significant achievement as it secures the show’s second win in this category, following its historic win in 2022 as the first streaming series to earn this honor.
In addition to this accolade, Arcane also took home the Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing for an Animated Program. The talented team behind this win includes Brad Beaumont, Eliot Connors, Stephen P. Robinson, Janet Pascual, Dan O’Connell, and John T. Cucci. This marks a repeat success for the series, which previously won the sound editing award in 2022 for the episode “When These Walls Come Tumbling Down.”
This latest recognition highlights that Arcane is not just celebrated for its stunning visuals and captivating storytelling, but also for its exceptional technical execution across all production stages. The series has had a remarkable awards season, having received two Individual Achievement in Animation awards at the juried Emmys earlier this summer. Bruno Couchinho was honored for background design in “The Dirt Under Your Nails,” while Faustine Dumontier received accolades for color in the episode “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern.”
The success of “The Dirt Under Your Nails” is a testament to the talented creative team from Riot Games and Fortiche Productions. Executive producers and writers Christian Linke and Alex Yee led the project, with Pascal Charrue and Arnaud Delord serving as executive producers and supervising directors. Delord also directed alongside Bart Maunoury. Other executive producers include Marc Merrill, Brandon Beck, Shauna Spenley, Brian Wright, Melinda Wunsch Dilger, Hervé Dupont, Ken Basin, and Jérôme Combe. Co-executive producers Christine Ponzevera and Amanda Overton, along with voice director Amanda Wyatt, also contributed to the series’ success.
These recent wins underscore the creative excellence showcased throughout the second season of Arcane. Furthermore, this year’s accolades reinforce Netflix’s stronghold in the realm of prestige TV animation, having won the Outstanding Animated Program award three out of the last four years since becoming the first streaming service to achieve this feat. Last year, Blue Eye Samurai’s “The Tale of the Ronin and the Bride” also won the award.
Other nominees for this year’s animated program Emmy included:
- Bob’s Burgers, “They Slug Horses, Don’t They?”
- Common Side Effects, “Cliff’s Edge”
- Love, Death + Robots, “Spider Rose”
- The Simpsons, “Bart’s Birthday”
