2025 Emmy Awards Winners Revealed [Updating Live]

The contenders at the 2025 Emmy Awards include some of this year’s greatest TV achievements, from the jaw-dropping power of Adolescence’s single takes to the continued hilarity of HBO Max’s Hacks. The other nominees this year also represent some wild successful swings from the major networks and streamers, with the winning shows to be revealed Sunday night on CBS.

In the Outstanding Comedy category, alums like Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building are joined by first-time nominees Shrinking, The Studio, and Nobody Wants This. Also in the running for the last time is FX’s acclaimed What We Do in the Shadows, but unfortunately it feels unlikely the vampire comedy will take the top prize for its final season.

Competing for the Outstanding Drama Series award are a particularly grim collection of series, including end-of-the-world dramas The Last of Us, Paradise, and Andor (if you count what happened to Ghor). The shows based in our reality aren’t much more upbeat, considering the politics of The Diplomat, the medical gore of The Pitt, the spycraft of Slow Horses, and the sociopaths of The White Lotus. At least this last season of Severance had a kinda happy ending?

In 2024, Netflix had a runaway awards hit on its hands with Baby Reindeer, and for the second year in a row it looks like it’ll dominate the limited series categories again thanks to another British drama, the four-episode Adolescence. It does face some significant competition though, including the most recent season of past Emmy winner Black Mirror, the latest installment of Netflix’s Monster series, HBO’s dark The Batman spinoff The Penguin, and the acclaimed Michelle Williams-starring dramedy Dying for Sex.

Nate Bargatze (Consequence’s Comedian of the Year in 2023) will host the 2025 Emmy Awards on September 14th, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT.
