The 2025 Emmy Awards saw major wins for Netflix’s breakout drama Adolescence while Apple TV’s Severance lost out in numerous categories after leading with 27 nominations.
Severance had been hotly tipped to win Outstanding Drama Series, but the show was beaten to the post by medical drama The Pitt. After seven nominations, Noah Wyle finally won his first Emmy for his lead role in the Pittsburgh hospital-set series.
Mike White’s The White Lotus picked up an impressive 23 nominations, with its cast dominating the Supporting Acting in a Drama categories. However, it failed to pick up a single one of the televised awards, with Katherine LaNasa winning Best Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role in The Pitt.
History was made by Adolescence star Owen Cooper who, at 15, became the youngest male actor to win an Emmy Award. He was part of a clean sweep for the acclaimed British series, which won in every category it was nominated in.
Seth Rogen’s The Studio wasn’t far behind — taking home four Emmys, including Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.
The biggest cheers of the night came for Stephen Colbert when The Late Show won its first ever Emmy, just two months after it was cancelled by CBS.
To be eligible for consideration, TV series had to premiere between June 2024 and May 2025.
