‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ Top 2025 Emmy Nominations as Streaming Shows Dominate

The 2025 Emmy nominations have been announced, with HBO’s ‘Succession’ and FX’s ‘The Bear’ receiving the most nods in their respective categories. ‘Succession,’ which concluded its final season this year, leads the drama category with 27 nominations, while ‘The Bear’ tops the comedy category with 23 nods. Both series have been celebrated for their writing, direction, and standout performances. ‘Succession’ is poised for a strong showing in drama with stars Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong, and Kieran Culkin all nominated in lead actor categories. Meanwhile, ‘The Bear’ continues its award streak, including nominations for lead actors Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri.

Other prominent nominees include Netflix’s ‘The Crown’ for drama, Hulu’s ‘Only Murders in the Building’ for comedy, and Amazon’s ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ making a return with final-season recognition. Limited series categories featured Netflix’s ‘Griselda’ and HBO’s ‘The Regime’. Hosted later this year, the Emmys will be closely watched as they reflect a shifting industry landscape increasingly dominated by streaming services. The awards ceremony is also returning to its traditional format following changes related to last year’s strikes by writers and actors.
