2025 Emmy Nominations: Complete List Released | Vanity Fair

The Emmy nominations 2025 are here—and they look very different from the Emmy nominations in 2024. That’s largely because this year, the Emmys had their first chance to recognize exciting new programs like The Pitt, The Studio, and Adolescence—fresh blood for an awards show known, for better or worse, for handing out statuettes to the same people year after year (after year). For the first time since 2022, the TV Academy also had an opportunity to show some love to Severance—and they did, lavishing the Apple TV+ drama with 27 total nominations, including recognition in the best drama, drama actor, and drama actress categories. That makes Severance the most nominated show at the 2025 Emmys.

The surreal workplace series is followed by the HBO Batman spin-off The Penguin, which got 24 nods, and both The Studio (another Apple TV+ program) and The White Lotus (another HBO show), which nabbed 23 nominations apiece. These nomination totals represent a strong showing for a pair of prestige platforms that have been duking it out for awards supremacy for several years now. Meanwhile, Netflix—the streamer with more subscribers than anyone else, and the undisputed category leader as far as consumers are concerned—had a slightly quieter nominations morning, earning 13 nominations for its breakout hit Adolescence.

Somewhat less expected were the healthy tallies for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story and Black Mirror, which also racked up nods in the limited-or-anthology-series categories. Monsters got 11 nominations total, while Black Mirror got 10. Black Mirror’s relative strength is especially unexpected; it’s been providing visions of a dystopian future for seven seasons released over the course of nearly 14 years, and one might have expected those visions to lose some punch when Charlie Brooker’s imagination has been outdone by actual reality.

Even before Brenda Song from Running Point and Harvey Guillén from What We Do in the Shadows joined forces to announce the nominations for the 77th annual Emmy Awards on July 15, we were prepared to see a few new faces enter the mix—and maybe for a few unexpected nods too. That anticipation was rewarded early on, when CBS Mornings revealed that Survivor had snuck back into the outstanding-reality-competition-series category, while Late Night With Seth Meyers had fallen out of outstanding talk series. Jeff Probst has also been nominated in the reality-host category, for only the second time since 2011. Probst got the award that year, capping off a four-year winning streak in the category; maybe this nomination indicates another streak about to begin. Scripted variety series, meanwhile, remains a two-show race between Saturday Night Live—coming off of its triumphant 50th season—and notorious Emmy hoover Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.

Onlookers may also have been taken aback by the total number of nominations drawn by HBO Max’s freshman drama series The Pitt. As a massive hit that’s already inspiring imitators—from streamers who suddenly seem to understand the appeal of budget-friendly settings and simple but gripping storylines, not to mention large episode orders and weekly episode drops that allow a series to organically build an audience over the course of several months—Noah Wyle’s spiritual successor to E.R. seemed like a shoo-in at the Emmys. But while the show got recognized in most of the major categories, including drama series and lead actor for Wyle—the longtime TV star’s first Emmy nod in 26 years—its supporting cast was overlooked by the TV Academy, with the single exception of Katherine LaNasa.

For that, we can probably thank Mike White and season three of The White Lotus, which once again dominated the supporting-actor and supporting-actress categories. Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Natasha Rothwell, Aimee Lou Wood, Walton Goggins, Jason Isaacs, and Sam Rockwell were all nominated Tuesday morning. Who will be the Jennifer Coolidge of 2025—the one (or two) who come out on top when the Emmys are held in September? The jury’s still out, though the cast members with the best monologues—Coon and Rockwell—might have a running start.

The 2024 Emmys were rocked when Hacks surged ahead of The Bear, finally beating it for best comedy series. This time around, Hacks also got more total nominations than The Bear—14 to The Bear’s 13—and seems to have more steam, coming off its mostly acclaimed fourth season. But this time around, in the end, both might be steamrolled by The Studio, Seth Rogen’s very insidery and very industry-beloved Hollywood satire. A Rogen acceptance speech, or three—he’s up for directing and writing the show, as well as starring on it—would tie an appropriately meta bow on top of The Studio’s first season.

For now, it’s time to analyze the list, and all the most shocking snubs and surprises of Emmy-nomination morning. There will be plenty of time to do that: The 77th annual Emmy Awards won’t take place until September 14, when comedian Nate Bargatze will host the ceremony for the first time.
