It’s that time of year again — when the industry looks back at everything that’s aired on the 2025 TV schedule and beyond to celebrate and honor the very best that broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms have delivered. Or, at the very least, to recognize the shows that secured enough votes from the Television Academy, even if the choices don’t always align perfectly with public sentiment. The 77th Emmy Awards are officially on the horizon, with nominations now revealed in a live announcement hosted by “What We Do in the Shadows” star Harvey Guillén and “Running Point”s Brenda Song.

As is tradition, a significant share of nominations went to a relatively small group of standout shows. However, this year’s list is more varied than some might have expected, with both returning heavyweights and breakout newcomers making their mark. Fan favorites like “Hacks” and “The Bear” continue to draw strong recognition, but fresh titles also made impressive debuts.
