The awards are the cherry on the sundae for Bell’s series. The show recently announced they’d return for a third season on The CW’s new online platform, CW Seed. The CW plans to make the popular show CW Seed’s “flagship series,” with plenty of on-air publicity.

Husbands, which premiered in 2011, features a newly-married homosexual couple. Bell is openly gay.

Web-based television is a burgeoning industry, with many new series (House of Cards) and the revival of others (Arrested Development, All My Children) choosing to forgo mainstream channels altogether.

Congratulations, Brad Bell.
