Emmy Awards nominations 2025: Severance leads Emmy race with 27 nominations, The Studio gets 23 nods as AppleTV+ dominates | Hollywood News
“Severance” separated itself from the field with 27 Emmy nominations Tuesday, while “The Studio” led comedy nominees with 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. No other dramas came close to the which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season.
Leading acting nominations came for Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters’ “innie” work selves and “outie” home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Ben Stiller got a directing nomination.
was expected to make a big showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like “Hacks,” which got 14, and “The Bear,” which got 13.

“The Studio” co-creator Seth Rogen personally got three nominations — for acting, writing and directing. Its A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie and Zoë Kravitz. “The Penguin,” HBO’s dark drama from the “Batman” universe, was also surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti.
Netflix’s acclaimed “Adolescence” got 13 nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing.
Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song read the nominations in key categories.

“Severance” has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including “The Morning Show” and “Slow Horses,” and “Ted Lasso” was downright dominant on the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. That could change when the Emmys are handed out in September. Adam Scott and Britt Lower got lead acting nominations for what amounted to dual roles as their characters’ “innie” work selves and “outie” home selves. Tramell Tillman also got a nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor, and Ben Stiller got a directing nomination. “Severance” got 14 nominations for its first season in 2023, but won just two, for its music and its title sequence.

All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and the like the Oscars, its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on “The Pitt” at some point on HBO Max, according to Warner Bros. Discovery, 30 years ago an average of 30 million sat down on the same night and watched him on “ER” on NBC.
The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities, with a few shining exceptions. ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” has annually drawn plenty of comedy nominations and should get its share this year. And Oscar-winner Kathy Bates is a front-runner for the best actress in a comedy Emmy for her role on CBS’s “Matlock.” She was the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015.
CBS will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host.
