‘The White Lotus’ Checks Into the 2025 Emmy Noms With 23, Ties With ‘The Studio’

The White Lotus has checked into the 2025 Emmys.

On Tuesday, the third season of the HBO series created by Mike White — who also directs, writes and executive produces the show — earned 23 Emmy nominations. It tied with Apple’s The Studio, which Seth Rogen co-created, co-wrote, directed and starred in. The noms fall just slightly behind HBO’s The Penguin, which scored 24, while Apple’s Severance picked up 27 nods, the highest amount for a show this year.

Season three of White Lotus, which centers around guests’ stay at a luxury resort, ran for seven weeks earlier this year, with the season finale airing on Sunday, April 6. This latest season starred Walton Goggins, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aimee Lou Wood, Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Nivola, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jon Gries and Sam Rockwell.

Goggins, Isaacs and Rockwell are nominated in the best supporting actor in a drama series category. Coon, Posey, Rothwell and Wood are nominated for best supporting actress in a drama series. Scott Glenn is nominated for best guest actor in a drama series. And for the boss, White scored nods for best writing and directing for a drama series. The series itself earned a nod for best drama series, it’s nominated alongside Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Severance and Slow Horses.

White spoke to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the finale, for the White Lotus cover story, about the show’s future seasons, “I am grateful that I keep getting to do it. That’s the goal. But everything’s always going to be compared to something else. There’s a critic I won’t name, and every time I do something, they’re like, ‘It’s not as good as the last one.’ You didn’t even like that one!” he said. “I certainly have gotten enough praise, so it’s probably good for me to have some people be like, ‘Did you have to go so slow?’”

However, castmembers Schwarzenegger, Monaghan, Nivola and Bibb notably did not score noms.

Comedian Nate Bargatze is set to host the 77th Emmy Awards, which will be broadcast live on Sunday, Sept. 14, (8-11 p.m. ET / 5-8 p.m. PT) on CBS. The ceremony will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.* See this year’s full list of nominees here.
