Nominations for the 2025 Emmy Awards were announced on Tuesday, and Severance led the way with 27 nods, followed by The Penguin with 24 and The Studio and The White Lotus with 23 apiece in the competition for television’s best shows and performances from the past year.
The dystopian workplace drama from Apple TV+ received nominations in all but one drama category (Guest Actor) for its second season, with Adam Scott and Britt Lower earning nominations for their lead roles.
Apple TV’s breakout The Studio received the most nominations in the comedy category, including three for Seth Rogen, who wrote, directed and starred in the Hollywood satire.
“We never thought this would happen,” Rogen and co-creator Evan Goldberg said in a statement. “What do we even say? Uh… thanks to our parents, our agents, our publicists, our preschool teachers, our managers, The Television Academy, our assistants, and Apple? Or do you only say that stuff if you win? Oh no! We’re already blowing it.”
