'House of the Dragon' Season 2 ends 'Game of Thrones' Emmy nomination streak with 0 nods
During its eight-season run from 2011 to 2019, Game of Thrones received 164 Emmy nominations and won 59 awards, making it the most successful drama series at the Emmys by that measure.
Every season of Game of Thrones was nominated for "Outstanding Drama Series", winning the award four times. House of the Dragon Season 1 continued the series' presence at the Emmys with eight nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.
However, Season 2's absence marks the first time a Game of Thrones-related series has not been nominated in this category.
The Outstanding Drama Series nominees for this year include Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Severance, Slow Horses, and The White Lotus.
Season 1 of House of the Dragon aired in 2022, with Season 2 following two years later. Season 3 is expected to arrive in 2026, while the next Game of Thrones spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is also set to premiere in 2026.

From prison bars to Emmy buzz: ‘Adolescence' star Ashley Walters' wild Hollywood comeback shocks fans
Ashley Walters' Hollywood breakthrough reads like a plot twist nobody saw coming. The former So Solid Crew rapper turned actor, once jailed for gun possession and barred from entering the United States, is now rubbing shoulders with Steven Spielberg and M. Night Shyamalan and he's up for an Emmy. In 2002, Walters, then 19, was sentenced to 18 months in a young offenders' institution for possession of a firearm. The conviction left a stain on his career and shut him out of the American industry for years. 'I was basically banned from the country,' he admitted. While he built a name in the UK through gritty dramas like Top Boy and co-creating Bulletproof, the global stage remained out of reach. That all changed with Adolescence. The Netflix series, which became the platform's most-watched show of 2025 with 145 million views, not only catapulted Walters into awards contention but reopened doors once slammed shut. 'Five years ago, there was absolutely no chance that I was going to be in this position,' he said through tears to his close friend and co-star Stephen Graham. Now filming Shyamalan's supernatural thriller Remain alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, Walters is finally living the Hollywood dream he once gave up on. Spielberg's team reportedly reached out after Adolescence, and a major new TV role is already lined up, written specifically for him. Ironically, Walters had been preparing to quit acting entirely before Adolescence reignited his screen career. He was deep into directing his passion project Animol, a film inspired by his own time behind bars. The shoot is now on hold as his acting resurgence takes centre stage. From Peckham to Emmy-nominated prestige, Walters' redemption arc is nearly unbelievable, even to him. 'It's crazy, it's nuts, it's surreal,' he said. 'Man, this boy from Peckham!'

Days of Our Lives renewed for seasons 62 and 63 by Peacock
Peacock has officially renewed Days of Our Lives for both its 62nd and 63rd seasons, reinforcing its commitment to the iconic soap opera that has become a staple in daytime television for decades. Currently in its 61st season, Days of Our Lives—commonly known as DOOL—has consistently ranked among the top 15 entertainment series on Peacock since its move to the platform in September 2022.

This marks the most Emmy nominations the series has received since its shift to streaming. The nominations include standout performances by Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis), Blake Berris (Everett Lynch), Emily O'Brien (Theresa Donovan), and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah Horton). Ashley Puzemis, who plays Holly Jonas, received a nomination in the emerging talent category. The show also earned recognition in directing, writing, and casting. Produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television, Days of Our Lives holds the title of the longest-running scripted television program in the world. It has a global audience, streaming in countries such as Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, Israel, South Africa, and Australia. This renewal comes shortly after the series aired its final episode featuring the late Bill Hayes, another emotional milestone for its dedicated fanbase.

Sydney Chandler cut from cover after refusing to pose with co-stars
Sydney Chandler, daughter of Emmy-winning actor Kyle Chandler, has found herself at the centre of a media storm after being removed from Variety's cover story for the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth. The move followed what insiders described as increasingly difficult behaviour during the show's press tour. According to Variety, Chandler's team informed them a day before the shoot that she would not participate in a Q&A segment alongside co-star Timothy Olyphant and showrunner Noah Hawley. The objection? She reportedly didn't want to sit down with 'two older men' for what was meant to be a playful video segment. Variety offered her alternative formats and even allowed her team to suggest questions, but nothing came of it. Chandler later cited illness to withdraw entirely. Despite attempts to reschedule, the publication ultimately cut her from the shoot. Olyphant and Hawley appeared on the cover without her. Hawley didn't hide his disappointment. 'The show is built around Sydney's character, and the work she did as a professional was tremendous,' he said. 'I'm disappointed that my female-centric show, based on a female-facing franchise, does not have my lead actress on the cover. It felt awkward to be there with Tim without her.' Chandler attempted to clarify her stance in a follow-up interview, insisting that she's 'just a private person' and 'new to press.' She claimed she was eager to discuss the series but found the press format overwhelming. The backlash was immediate. Online forums lit up with debate over whether her actions reflected unprofessionalism or a need for more respectful promotional practices. While FX has yet to issue a formal statement, the incident has already shifted focus away from the show and squarely onto Chandler herself.
