The 2022 Emmy Awards [1] saw some incredible wins [2], gorgeous red carpet looks [3], and memorable moments — including some very fun reunions between members of some of our favourite casts! Throughout the night, cast members from nominated shows mingled, walked the red carpet together, presented together, and just hung out and enjoyed TV's most glamorous night. This year, thanks to a new seating arrangement at the ceremony, many casts even got to sit together around round tables (or multiple tables, in the cases of the night's biggest casts), rather than lined up in more traditional rows.
The Emmys are a chance for casts that haven't seen each other in a while to catch up and casts that are currently in production [4] to take a break and get glammed up together. From years-ago shows reuniting [5] for a special shout-out to nominated casts cheering each other on, the Emmys were the perfect moment for some of our favourite costars to share fun moments with each other and with all of us. Read on to see just a few of the best cast reunions that happened at the Emmys this year!

Phil Dunster and two-time best supporting actor winner Brett Goldstein joked around on the red carpet, striking silly poses for the cameras.
