LOS ANGELES — “DTF St. Louis,” HBO’s miniseries about a hookup app at the core of a lurid murder mystery, won the Emmy for limited series.
The seven-episode drama was a front-runner, earning 13 nominations along with critical acclaim and impressive ratings. Its momentum grew after David Harbour and Linda Cardellini won supporting acting trophies, and creator Steven Conrad received writing and directing honors at the Emmys earlier this month.
“I’m so proud to be able to speak on behalf of this extraordinary cast,” Conrad said in his acceptance speech.
The series stars Jason Bateman as TV weatherman Clark Forrest, whose friendship with financially struggling ASL interpreter Floyd Smernitch (Harbour) becomes complicated when he gets involved with Smernitch’s wife, Carol (Cardellini). Harbour, also an executive producer, initiated the project after being inspired by a New Yorker true-crime article about a fatal suburban love triangle.
Other nominees in the limited series category included “Beef,” “The Beast in Me,” “Love Story,” and “All Her Fault.”
