On Tuesday, Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song will announce the nominees for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards. And the stakes are once again high for TV’s biggest night.
The comedy category is expected to see several returning favorites like Max’s “Hacks,” ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and FX’s “The Bear.” As for limited series, though there were several strong entries this television season, Netflix’s stunning “Adolescence” is expected to lead the pack. That means the extremely competitive drama category could have the most surprises and upsets this year. Six awards darlings — HBO’s “The Last of Us,” Disney+’s “Andor,” Apple TV+’s “Severance,” HBO’s “The White Lotus,” Netflix’s “Squid Game” and Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” — released Emmys eligible seasons after being away last year.
Earlier on Tuesday, “CBS Mornings” revealed the nominees for reality competition series and talk series, which largely went as predicted.
The 77th Primetime Awards will take place live at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, 2025. The show will air on CBS and Paramount+.
