Emmy voters took notice this year as more members voted in the competition than ever before,” said Television Academy Chair Cris Abrego. “It’s a reminder of the impact incredible television and exceptional artists have on all of us. We’re looking forward to recognizing the teams and individuals that rose to the top this season as we celebrate the best of television.”
The Studio tied the record for the most nominations in a single year in the Comedy category with 23 (set by The Bear in 2024) and Severance led this year’s Drama category with 27 nominations.
