2025 Emmy winners complete list: From The Studio to Adolescence
-
To honour the best in television, the 2025 Emmy Awards were held on Sunday, September 14, 2025, at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. The prestigious night was a big success for Netflix’s limited anthology series Adolescence, starring the youngest actor, Owen Cooper. The limited series dominated the night with six awards, including a historic win for Owen Cooper, who became the youngest male actor ever to receive an Emmy.
Another big win was for Apple TV+’s comedy series, The Studio, which had a record-breaking nomination tally, and the show was celebrated with four Emmy Awards, with Seth Rogen winning for his outstanding performance as a lead actor in The Studio. He and his partner, Evan Goldberg, even shared the title for best directing and writing the two episodes titled “The Promotion” and “The Oner.”
This year, Apple TV+’s Severance had the most nominations with 27, followed by HBO’s The Penguin with 24, and both The Studio and The White Lotus with 23 each.
Already having the eight Creative Arts Emmys, The Penguin added one more recognition to the list as Cristin Milioti, who played the role of Sofia Gigante, won best lead actress in the crime series.
