Joy Sunday is officially Emmy-nominated.
The actress earned her first Emmy nomination in the supporting actress category for her performance as Agent Jodie Plumb in DTF St. Louis, the acclaimed limited series, which also landed 13 nominations, including for best limited or anthology series, when 2026 Emmy nominations were announced July 8.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter shortly after nominations were announced, Sunday says she learned the news alongside her castmates.
“It was all happening very quickly,” Sunday recalls. “Gosh, I was actually on the phone with [series creator] Steve [Conrad]’s assistant/co-producers when it all happened, and then my phone just kind of rang up, and the entire cast is all in the group chat with the producers, so pretty much everyone [found out] at the same time. It really speaks to the kind of family feel we had on set. We were all just celebrating together.”
Sunday’s been seen on major series such as Netflix’s Emmy-winning supernatural comedy Wednesday and Blank Slate Pictures’ Yas Kween, but it was DTF ST. Louis that would land her first acting Emmy nomination – and she wasn’t surprised.
