‘Severance’ Leads TCA Awards Nominations
The long-awaited second season of Severance scored the most nominations for the annual Television Critics Association Awards.
The Apple TV+ drama leads the 2025 field with five nominations, including for program of the year and best drama. Britt Lower, Adam Scott and Tramell Tillman were also nominated for their individual performances. Netflix’s Adolescence, HBO Max’s Hacks and The Pitt, and Apple TV+’s The Studio were close behind, collecting four nominations each.
“With these nominations, we honor the art of television and the artists who create it,” TCA president Andy Dehnart said in a statement. “Our members independently selected these nominees, having championed these shows and in their writing, reporting and criticism throughout the past year.”
Winners will be announced later in the summer, along with the TCA’s career achievement (for an individual) and heritage (for a program) awards. With the cancellation of the group’s summer press tour, there won’t be an in-person ceremony.
