The Best Emmy-Nominated TV Shows of 2025

1. Severance (2022)

Apple TV’s dystopian sci-fi workplace drama, Severance, has been the undisputed star at this year’s Emmy, securing 27 nominations, including Drama Series, Writing for a Drama Series, Production Design, Casting, Choreography, Cinematography, Directing for a Drama Series (Ben Stiller and Jessica Lee Gagné), Picture Editing (three times), Title Design, Music Composition, Music Supervision, Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Adam Scott), Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Britt Lower), Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (three nominations: Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman and John Turturro), Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Patricia Arquette), Guest Actress in a Drama Series (three nominations: Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie and Merritt Wever), Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Special Effects, and Stunt Performance.

With several nominees within the same category, the Severance cast and crew will be competing against each other. This year’s nominations prove especially standout for Jessica Lee Gagné, who became the first ever woman to be nominated for both Best Cinematography and Best Directing For A Drama Series in Emmy history.

Severance is set in a dystopian future where employees undergo a surgical procedure called Severance, which splits their memories between work and personal life into two parts. After suffering a personal loss, Mark Scout, one such employee, begins to question the system, unravelling a deeper mystery that challenges the ethics of free will, identity, and corporate power. The show’s second season was released earlier this year, bringing the series back to the top of global streaming charts and making it a top contender in this year’s awards season race.

2. The Penguin (2024)

DC Comics’ limited series The Penguin has become the second most Emmy-nominated comic book series of all time, coming in as runner-up to the DC series Watchmen, which received 26 nominations at the 72nd Emmy Awards in 2020. Set in the gritty crime world of Gotham City, The Penguin is a limited series that focuses on the rise of Oswald Cobblepot, aka The Penguin, one of Batman’s most iconic villains.

The Penguin was nominated for the following: Limited Anthology Series, Lead Actor in a Limited Anthology Series (Colin Farrell), Lead Actress in a Limited Anthology Series (Cristin Milioti), Supporting Actress in a Limited Anthology Series (Deirdre O’Connell), Production Design for a Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour or More), Casting for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie, Cinematography for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie, Contemporary Costumes for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie, Directing for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie (Helen Shaver for “Cent’anni” and Jennifer Getzinger for “A Great or Little Thing”), Editing for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie (“Cent’anni,” “Bliss,” and “A Great or Little Thing”), Contemporary Hairstyling, Title Design, Contemporary Make-up (Non-Prosthetic), Prosthetic Make-up, Music Composition (Original Dramatic Score) for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie (Mick Giacchino), Sound Editing for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie, Sound Mixing for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie, Special Visual Effects in a Single Episode, Stunt Performance, Stunt Coordination for Drama Programming, Writing for a Limited Anthology Series or Movie (LeFranc’s episode “A Great or Little Thing”).

3. The White Lotus (2017)

HBO’s powerhouse resort murder series The White Lotus returned for its third season, this time taking viewers to the vibrant islands of Thailand. Set in the fictional White Lotus, each season follows a new host of guests and their intertwined lives, as their seemingly perfect holiday spirals into chaos as hidden desires, and secrets come exposed.

A consistent Emmy darling, the show continued its hot streak with Season 3 receiving 23 nominations, matching the tally of Season 2, and bringing its total Emmy nominations to 66 across three seasons. In addition to a nod for Outstanding Drama Series, Jason Isaacs earned his first-ever Emmy nomination for his performance in the Lead Actor category. The Supporting Actor category saw nominations for Walton Goggins and Sam Rockwell, while the Supporting Actress category recognised Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, and Natasha Rothwell, who returned to the role of Belinda, earning a repeat nomination after first playing the character in Season 1. Scott Glenn was also honoured with a nomination in the Guest Actor in a Drama Series category.

4. The Studio (2025)

The Studio received 23 nominations for this year’s awards. Set in the competitive world of the entertainment industry, the series offers us a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a high-profile Hollywood studio. With a star-studded ensemble led by Seth Rogen as Matt Remick, the newly appointed head of Continental Studios, and featuring Catherine O’ Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Ike Barinholtz, and Bryan Cranston, alongside high-profile celebrity cameos from Martin Scorsese, Olivia Wilde, Anthony Mackie, Steve Buscemi, Zoë Kravitz, and Ron Howard, The Studio has steadily carved its way to the most talked about show of the year.

The series received nominations in several major categories, including four for Seth Rogen (Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor, Writing, and Directing). If he wins all four, he’ll tie the record for most Emmys won by one person in a single night, joining Moira Demos (Making a Murderer, 2016), Amy Sherman-Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, 2018), and Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek, 2020). Before we close this, we’d just like to thank Sal Saperstein for his contribution to all the nominations.

5. The Last of Us (2023)

Based on the bestselling video game by Naughty Dog, The Last of Us is a post-apocalyptic survival series that follows Joel, a smuggler tasked with escorting Ellie, a teenage girl immune to the zombie-like infection across state lines in search of a potential cure. The first season was a standout success, receiving 24 Emmy nominations and winning eight awards. While the controversial twists of the second season led to a dip in fanfare, the series has still held its ground among top drama contenders, earning a total of 16 nominations this year.

Despite his limited screen time, Pedro Pascal received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor. Star Bella Ramsey was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress for their portrayal of Ellie for the second season in a row. The show was also nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. Several cast members received Emmy nominations in Guest Acting categories, including Joe Pantoliano as Eugene, Jeffrey Wright as Isaac, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, and Catherine O’Hara as Gail. Additional nominations for The Last of Us include awards for Production Design, Casting, Picture Editing, Contemporary Makeup, Prosthetic Makeup, Music Supervision, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Special Visual Effects. The series also earned a nod in the Nonfiction Short category for its behind-the-scenes documentary.

6. Andor (2022)

In a galaxy not so far away, the Star Wars prequel Andor blasted into the awards season with 14 nominations for its second and final season, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Period or Fantasy Program, Outstanding Cinematography for a Series, Outstanding Fantasy/Sci‑Fi Costumes, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Drama Series, Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score), Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, Outstanding Character Voice‑Over Performance, Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series, Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie.

Set five years before the events of Rogue One, the series follows Cassian Andor, a rogue drifter turned rebel operative, as he slowly transforms into one of the Rebellion’s most powerful heroes.

7. Hacks (2021)

Following closely behind The Studio in the comedy category is Hacks, the series that took home the title of Outstanding Comedy Series at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards. HBO’s sharp-witted, inter-generational comedy-drama explores the clash between Deborah Vance, an aging stand up comic, and Ava Daniels, her young, down on her luck, aspiring comic writer.

Living up to the hype, the series bagged 14 nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Jean Smart), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Hannah Einbinder), Outstanding Contemporary Costumes, Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Cinematography for a Series (Half-Hour), Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Single-Camera Comedy Series, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Julianne Nicholson), Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Robby Hoffman), Outstanding Music Supervision, Outstanding Contemporary Hairstyling, Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (Half-Hour), Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.
