Julie Andrews just won another Emmy Award for her Lady Whistledown narration in Bridgerton.
At the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys ceremony held on Sunday, Sept. 6, the actress, 90, won Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for the Netflix romance series.
The other nominees were: Pamela Adlon for King of the Hill, Hank Azaria for The Simpsons, Trey Parker for South Park, Matt Vogel for The Muppet Show, and Steven Yeun for Invincible.
Andrews also won the category for Bridgerton last year after three previous nominations for her work as the gossipy Lady Whistledown. At the time, the show’s creator Shonda Rhimes celebrated the award, writing on Instagram, “I have such fond memories with Ms. Andrews, and I’ve seen every one of her films! Truly, I can watch her read a phone book, she’s that phenomenal. I’m so grateful she brought her magic to Bridgerton!”

In August, Andrews explained to The Hollywood Reporter that she won’t be in the upcoming Princess Diaries sequel because she’s done with onscreen acting.
“I think the absolute truth is that I think I’m really past all that now,” she told the outlet while promoting the children’s book Shy she wrote with her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. “I’m not completely retired, but it’s a different kind of work that I do these days — [writing] books, and I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers.”
The Mary Poppins star added to THR that it is “still lovely to be working on things,” but she now prefers not to take roles that are “necessarily on camera.”
Andrews will appear in an upcoming documentary about her life and career, which will stream on Disney+ in 2027. The film is directed by R.J. Cutler, who was behind 2024’s Martha Stewart doc, Martha.
“To sit with Julie, to be allowed into her inner world, to watch her reflect on a life that has shaped so many other lives was an experience I will forever cherish,” Cutler said in a statement in July.
Bridgerton is now streaming on Netflix.
