TV’s biggest night is right around the corner — but there’s still time to binge-watch the 2025 Emmy-nominated shows.
The nominees were revealed in July, with Severance leading with an impressive 27 nominations, followed closely by The Penguin with 24. The Studio earned 23 nods, making history as the most-nominated freshman comedy ever, surpassing the record previously set by Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso. Newcomer The Pitt also made its mark with 13 nominations in its debut season.
Still, the announcement wasn’t without surprises and disappointments. House of the Dragon, Squid Game, The Handmaid’s Tale, Landman and The Day of the Jackal were among the biggest TV shows to be snubbed.
Ahead of the 2025 Emmy Awards, which will air live on CBS on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET, here’s where to watch all of the nominated TV shows.
