It’s a Sunday in mid-September and you know what that means… no, we’re not talking about all-day football on TV (though there’s that, too). The 2025 Emmys have finally arrived!
The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards air September 14, at 8/7c on CBS, helmed by first-time award show host and comedian Nate Bargatze.
This year’s list of nominees includes some historic nods: 83-year-old Harrison Ford, who just earned his first-ever Emmy nomination for Shrinking; Matlock‘s Kathy Bates who, at 77, is the oldest person ever nominated for Best Actress in a Drama; and Adolescence star Owen Cooper, the youngest-ever Best Supporting Actor nominee in a Limited/Anthology Series or TV Movie (if he wins, he’ll be the youngest male Emmy winner ever).
As for the rest of the list, Severance leads the pack with 27 nominations, The Penguin trails closely behind with 24 nominations, and The White Lotus and The Studio come in at a close third with 23 nominations each. In other words, it’s HBO and Apple TV+’s night. The Last of Us, Hacks, Andor, The Pitt, and Adolescence are also strong contenders.
And you don’t have to wait until the big show airs to know which shows and performances resonated with the Television Academy this year. The Pitt, Severance, The Studio, Hacks, and The Penguin are already winners in acting categories after taking home Creative Arts Emmys on September 6, while Jeopardy!, Saturday Night Live, and The Traitors were among the notable wins on September 7.
