The 2025 Primetime Emmy nominations are finally here, and many fan favorites, returning series, and brand-new efforts have been recognized by the Television Academy. As IndieWire's Marcus Jones predicted, the 2025 Emmys are one of the tightest races in recent years with a slew of returning winners side by side in competition with new buzzy series. The Television Academy's 24,000 members certainly have their work cut out for them as past Emmy winners like 'Severance,' 'The White Lotus,' 'The Last of Us,' 'Squid Game,' 'The Handmaid's Tale,' 'Hacks,' 'The Bear,' 'Abbott Elementary,' 'Only Murders in the Building,' and 'What We Do in the Shadows' are all back in contention for more awards. More from IndieWire How to Watch the 2025 Emmy Nominations Announced Live 2025 Emmy Predictions: Who Will Win at the Primetime Emmy Awards? And that's not even mentioning the slew of star-studded series that debuted this year: 'The Pitt,' 'Paradise,' 'The Studio,' 'Dying for Sex,' and IndieWire Honors-recognized 'Adolescence' all have become critically acclaimed hits. From Liza Colón-Zayas ('The Bear') to 'The White Lotus' trio of Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb, and Carrie Coon, to 'The Studio' stars Catherine O'Hara and Kathryn Hahn, the comedy categories for actresses are particularly competitive this year. Don't forget about Emmy staples 'Hacks' and 'Abbott Elementary' too. The Outstanding Television Movie category additionally has an interesting year, with Emmy-winning 'Succession' creator Jesse Armstrong's HBO film 'Mountainhead' against the fourth 'Bridget Jones' film, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,' which premiered solely on Peacock in the United States while becoming a box office hit in theaters abroad. Emmys voting wrapped on Monday, June 23, with the nominations announced today, Tuesday, July 15, by 'Running Point' breakout Brenda Song (which debuted in 2025 on Netflix) and 'What We Do in the Shadows' star Harvey Guillén (the FX series just had its final season). The 76th Annual Emmy Awards will honor series that aired between June 1, 2024 and May 31, 2025. The 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET/ 5:00 p.m. PT. Nate Bargatze will be hosting the awards show.
