You know how much I love a good TV show, so get this: the nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2025 just dropped, and it’s looking like a pretty wild year for television!
Apple TV+ is seriously crushing it. “Severance: Season 2” snagged a whopping 27 nominations, including the big one for Outstanding Drama Series. And their comedy hit, “The Studio,” isn’t far behind with 23 nods. Over on HBO, “The Penguin” is leading the charge in the Limited Series category with 24 nominations.
They’ve announced everything from the big drama, comedy, and limited series categories to all the acting awards. Plus, there are nominations for Best Animated Program and Television Movie.
Seriously, television’s biggest night is almost here! The Emmys are set to air live on CBS on Sunday, September 14th, at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. I can’t wait to see who takes home the gold!
