Emmys: HBO and Max Score Most Nominations, Apple Takes a Big Bite
The combined total beats HBO's previous high of 137 in 2019, a year before HBO Max launched. The big haul, along with nods for Warner Bros. TV Adult Swim, Discovery and Food Network, also puts Warner Bros. Discovery at the front of the media conglomerate pack with 170 total nominations. That's well ahead of Disney's 137 and Netflix's 120. Apple also had a strong year with 81 total nominations, beating the 72 it received a year ago.

The 142 nominations for HBO and Max in 2025 are a huge gain over the 91 they garnered in 2024. A lot of the surge can be attributed to the return of two big contenders, The White Lotus (23 nominations) and The Last of Us (16), to HBO's schedule after taking the 2023-24 season off. Limited series The Penguin scored 24 nominations, the second most of any program.
Add in strong showings by Max originals Hacks (14 nominations) and first-year breakout The Pitt (13), and five shows account for 90 of HBO and Max's 142 nominations — about 63 percent of the total. The remaining 52 nominations are spread among 18 other titles.
Only three Netflix shows got double-digit nomations: Adolescence (13), Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (11) and Black Mirror (10). More than 20 shows on the platform received multiple nods, however, a testament to the sheer volume of programming Netflix puts out.
The bulk of Apple TV+'s 81 nominations come from just two shows. Severance leads the pack with 27 nominations (vs. 14 for its first season in 2022), and The Studio landed 23, breaking Ted Lasso's record of 20 nominations for a first-year comedy series. Shrinking (seven nominations) and Slow Horses (five) also performed well and give Apple two contenders each in the best comedy and best drama series categories.
After a record-setting year in 2024, led by Shōgun's 25 nominations, FX fell off considerably with 35 nominations. Season three of The Bear leads FX's haul with 13 (down from 23 a year ago). ABC's 34 nominations are about even with FX to lead Disney's total.
Below are the leading nominees by platform for the 2025 Emmys, and the number of programs that received nods.
1. HBO/Max: 142 nominations (23 programs)2. Netflix: 120 nominations (44 programs)3. Apple TV+: 81 nominations (14 programs, 2 commercials)4. ABC: 38 nominations (16 programs)5. FX: 35 nominations (8 programs)
And a count of nominations by media conglomerate:
1. Warner Bros. Discovery: 1702. Disney: 1373. Netflix: 1204. Apple: 815. NBCUniversal: 72
July 15, 12:20 p.m. Updated nomination totals by platform and media conglomerate.

BOOSTER GOLD TV Series Finally Moving Forward at DC Studios — GeekTyrant
After more than two years of waiting, the fan-favorite time-traveling superhero Booster Gold is officially making his way to the small screen. According to Deadline, DC Studios has greenlit a pilot episode for the series at HBO Max, bringing a cult comic book character into the spotlight. The project has landed David Jenkins, best known as the creator of HBO Max's pirate comedy-drama Our Flag Means Death , to write the pilot and serve as showrunner if the series gets a full-season order. Originally announced back in January 2023 during the DCU Chapter One slate reveal, the synopsis teased that the series will follow Booster Gold as he uses 'basic technology from the future to pretend to be a superhero in the present day.' Booster Gold's real name is Michael Jon Carter, a former football star from the 25th century who steals advanced technology and travels back in time. His mission? To reinvent himself as a celebrity superhero in our era. In the comics, Booster isn't just a self-promoter, he eventually becomes a trusted member of the Justice League. That Justice League is shaping up in the DCU too, featuring characters like Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and Mister Terrific, who recently appeared in Superman , and they're bankrolled by Maxwell Lord, adding an interesting dynamic to the team's future. While we wait for Booster's big debut, DC fans have plenty to look forward to on HBO Max. Peacemaker Season 2, starring John Cena as the foul-mouthed antihero, drops on August 21. Further down the line, we have Lanterns , which is set for an early 2026 release. That series will follow Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a mysterious murder in Nebraska. With Jenkins at the helm and James Gunn's DCU vision in play, Booster Gold could bring a fresh, funny, and heartfelt tone to the superhero genre.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner Was America's Brother
I am sad, so profoundly sad. I screamed, literally, on a call, when an alert crossed my laptop this week that Malcolm-Jamal Warner had died. I could not believe it, did not want to believe he, my friend, had drowned during a swim, somewhere in Costa Rica, while on a vacation with his wife and little daughter. Fifty-four, only 54-years-old. Why do the good often go prematurely? Matthew Perry. Tupac Shakur. Amy Winehouse. Kurt Cobain. Marilyn Monroe. Aaliyah. Bobby Kennedy. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Billie Holiday. Bruce Lee. Selena. Janis Joplin. Vincent van Gogh. Whitney Houston. James Dean. Princess Diana. Brittany Murphy, the list is diverse, mythical, and, yes, so profoundly sad. Meanwhile, we have also had a relentless parade of Black male celebrities—Chadwick Boseman, Kobe Bryant, DMX, Michael K. Williams, and more than I dare to count this decade—just go, gone, none of them even remotely senior citizens. Any death troubles my soul mightily, no matter who it is, famous or not. But I must admit, without shame, that it hurts in a certain kind of way any time I hear of another Black man gone, as elder Black folks often say, before their time. The late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner attends the Disney ABC Television Group TCA summer press tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 6, 2017, in Beverly Hills, Calif. The late actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner attends the Disney ABC Television Group TCA summer press tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 6, 2017, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic/Getty Images Now it is Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Emmy-nominated actor. Grammy-winning musician. Grammy-nominated poet. Beloved husband, father, son. I do not recall when nor where nor how I first personally met him, but it was back in the day. Nevertheless, like hundreds of millions of viewers across the planet I was introduced to Malcolm-Jamal via The Cosby Show, one of only three U.S. television programs which have been No. 1 in ratings for five seasons (the others: All In The Family and American Idol). To say The Cosby Show was revolutionary and game-changing would be a gross understatement. In the 1980s America of Ronald Reagan, the AIDS and crack epidemics, and the initial explosion of brands like Apple and Nike, the show was a unicorn. It saved a struggling NBC network. It introduced our nation to a different way of viewing the Black experience. It became a global pop culture phenomenon during its eight-season run. We had never witnessed a Black family like this in television history: two professional parents with five children—four girls and one boy—supremely confident in their beings, the entire household a manifestation of the post-civil rights era of what was possible. No racist stereotypes, no demeaning facial expressions, no bowed heads, and no broken bodies from the old Hollywood. Yes, legit and righteous representation do matter, and as the lone male child in the clan Malcolm-Jamal remixed Theo Huxtable with an enchanting recipe of Black boy joy, a cool jazz meets hip-hop swagger, and an unsatiable thirst for the wholeness of life.

Chenet/CORBIS/Corbis via Getty Images I am just slightly older than Malcolm-Jamal and never thought I would see someone like him on television. But there he was, in living color. I was inspired. I was doubly amped when I learned he had been born in Jersey City, N.J. like me. He was me and I was him. In Malcolm-Jamal's smile and laughter were mine, too. In his struggles from boyhood to manhood were my trials and tribulations, too. He was a kindred spirit, and, moreover, what Mary Tyler Moore meant to women 10 years earlier is what Malcolm-Jamal Warner meant to Black America, to boys Black like me. No, we cannot delete what the show's creator, Bill Cosby, has been charged with these many moons later. The rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment allegations are brutal and "tarnished," as Malcolm-Jamal said in one interview, the great legacy of The Cosby Show, likely forever. But we also cannot merely throw away this historic TV show and its participants because of one person. The Malcolm-Jamal Warner that I came to know, as an actor, as a musician, as a fellow poet, as a voice, leader, and bridge-builder, was kind, supportive, and genuinely full of hope and love. If one simply scans any social media platform since the tragedy one will see the testimonies, from a wide spectrum, saying the exact same. Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a very different kind of man. Alas, I do not know what Malcolm-Jamal Warner thought about the accusations against his TV father other than a few statements here and there that one can easily Google. I imagine that he was tormented, and torn. I never spoke with him about being on a hit TV show so early in life. He knew I knew, just like I know he knew I had been on the very first season of MTV's The Real World. Ours was a safe space, two products of pop culture, who preferred to speak about poetry, music, and hip-hop. Two Black men in America, on this Earth, trying to navigate any and all spaces, perpetually, as we journeyed through the chapters of Reagan, the Bushes, the Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Trump. I do know in losing Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and the way we lost him, with so much breath still to breathe, leaving his wife and daughter and mother and father behind, is collective trauma that is unexplainable. I have cried, my wife has cried, my wife's mother and so many others we know have cried. Because losing him is akin to losing a blood relative, a close friend. Because Malcolm-Jamal, named after civil rights icon Malcolm X and jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, was truly the brother we all needed.
