In 2013, Netflix became the first streaming platform whose TV production won a Primetime Emmy Award with House of Cards becoming the first online-only streaming television series to receive major nominations for the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards.[1] House of Cards scored nine nominations overall, including Outstanding Drama Series.[1] Meanwhile, its first episode, "Chapter 1", received four nominations, becoming the first webisode (online-only episode) of a television series to receive a major Primetime Emmy Award nomination. Laray Mayfield and Julie Schubert won Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series while Eigil Bryld won for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (One Hour);[2] meanwhile, David Fincher won for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.[3] Both Bryld and Fincher won for the episode "Chapter 1", making it the first Emmy-winning webisode;[4] Jeff Beal was also nominated for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) for the same episode. The series was nominated for Outstanding Drama Series four more times, receiving nominations for its first five seasons; however, it wasn't nominated for its sixth and final season.

In 2014, Orange Is the New Black's first season was submitted and nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series[5] while the second season received a nomination for Outstanding Drama Series, becoming the first series to be nominated for both categories.[6] The first season also earned nominations for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series and Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, for the episodes "I Wasn't Ready" and "Lesbian Request Denied", respectively.
