The seven-episode dark comedy miniseries won Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, while David Harbour earned the award for Best Supporting Performance, further cementing the show’s status as one of television’s most talked-about new releases.
David Harbour Celebrates Cast and Creator After Gotham TV Awards Win
Harbour used his acceptance speech to shine a light on the people around him rather than focusing solely on his own achievement. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor first acknowledged fellow nominee Linda Cardellini, joking about the reality that only one trophy could be handed out in the category. “We can share custody of this,” he quipped, before turning his attention to the series’ ensemble and creator Steven Conrad.
The recognition marks another milestone for “DTF St. Louis,” a darkly comic mystery that premiered in March on HBO Max. Created, written, and directed by Conrad, the show unfolds through a nonlinear narrative centered on a complicated relationship between three middle-aged adults whose personal lives become entangled in a murder investigation.
Harbour stars as Floyd Smernitch, an American Sign Language interpreter whose life becomes increasingly complicated after he is introduced to a dating app designed for married people seeking affairs. The story follows the fallout from those decisions, gradually revealing how a seemingly unconventional love triangle connects to Floyd’s eventual death and the investigation that follows.
The miniseries also features Jason Bateman and Linda Cardellini in leading roles, alongside Richard Jenkins, Joy Sunday, Peter Sarsgaard, Chris Perfetti, and Arlan Ruf. Throughout its seven episodes, the show repeatedly revisits key events from different perspectives, allowing viewers to piece together the chronology of the crime as detectives uncover new details.
For HBO Max, the Gotham TV Awards victories represent an early awards-season boost for a project that underwent a notable evolution during development. What began as a concept inspired by a real-life case eventually became a wholly original story under Conrad’s direction, culminating in one of the platform’s most acclaimed limited series of 2026 and now a two-time Gotham winner.
