There’s a lot of good TV available nowadays, but one show has surpassed everyone after receiving a “record 23 Emmy nominations, with The,” and we know what the answer is if you’re struggling with the July 25 NYT Mini Crossword.
For a show to beat out Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Walking Dead, and countless other hit TV shows, it must be doing something right. So much so it’s been immortalized in the July 25 edition of the NYT Mini Crossword.
‘Show that recently received a record 23 Emmy nominations, with The’ eight across NYT Mini Crossword solution and hints
- Hint 1: It’s an animal.
- Hint 2: It’s a homophone for something not covered.
- Hint 3: The creature is partial to a forest.
- Hint 4: It ends with “R.”
I can’t give you any more hints, so for the golden answer to eight across, here’s everything you need to know about the answer.
The answer to the clue in question is “BEAR,” as in the TV show “The Bear” which launched in 2022 and has gone on to release three highly successful and lauded seasons of TV—with a fourth already confirmed to be on the way.
The premise of the show is Carmen “Carmy” Anthony Berzatto coming back home to run his family’s sandwich shop. But it’s never that simple, and the resulting seasons produce drama, unrest in the kitchen, and much more. Everything about the show has been applauded, leading to its Emmy nominations for a variety of categories: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and many more.
Lead star Jeremy Allen White’s breakout role was as Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in the US version of Shameless.
