"Succession," "Ted Lasso'" win top awards at the Emmys

"Succession" was named best drama series, an award it had won in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted its production schedule, while "Ted Lasso" won best comedy series.

"Succession," the story of a dysfunctional wealthy family jockeying for power, and feel-good comedy "Ted Lasso" took the top honours at the Emmy awards in Hollywood on September 12, The Jerusalem Post reports.
