2025 Television Critics Award Nominations Include ‘Severance,' ‘The Pitt,' ‘Hacks,' ‘Andor,' And ‘Adolescence,' Among Others
Today, the Television Critics Association announced the shows and movies nominated for the 2025 TCA Awards.
The 41st Annual TCA Award nominations show how big screen stars are continuing to make a major impact on the small screen, most evident in the individual categories where Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates and celebrated thespian Diego Luna are nominated for Individual Achievement in Drama. Hollywood icon Harrison Ford is competing in a crowded Individual Achievement in Comedy category featuring famed actor/comedian Seth Rogen and Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams.
Elsewhere, CBS's groundbreaking, 25-year-old competition series Survivor will try to outwit, outlast, and outplay Outstanding Achievement in Reality entrants that include CBS's The Amazing Race, Bravo's Top Chef, and last year's winner, Peacock's The Traitors, to claim its first-ever TCA Award.
Apple TV+'s Severance leads all series with five nominations, while Netflix's Adolescence, HBO's The Pitt and The Studio, also from Apple TV+, each earned four nods.
Nominees will compete for accolades in 12 unique categories, recognizing exemplary performances and programming in Drama, Comedy, Miniseries, News and Information, Reality, Variety, Sketch or Talk Shows and more — leading up to the highly anticipated presentation of the esteemed Program of the Year Award.
That category includes a wide ranges of series including new series The Pitt, Adolescence, The Studio, Andor and The Rehearsal. These shows will face stiff competition for the title against past award winner Hacks, as well as Severance, and The White Lotus.
Vying for kudos in the Individual Achievement In Comedy are The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas, The Rehearsal's Nathan Fielder, Harrison Ford from Shrinking, and Michelle Williams from Dying for Sex, along with Janelle Jones from Abbott Elementary, Somebody Somewhere's Bridget Everett, Seth Rogen from The Studio, and both Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart from Hacks. Smart took home the trophy in this category in both 2021 and 2024.
Noah Wyler, who led the series The Pitt, has been nominated in the Individual Achievement In Drama category, which also includes Diego Luna from Andor, Matlock's Kathy Bates, and Jacob Anderson from Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. Also earning nominations in this category are Owen Cooper and Stephen Graham, both from Adolescence, along with three cast members of Severance — Britt Lower, Adam Scott, and Tramell Tillman.
'With these nominations, we honor the art of television and the artists who create it,' said TCA President Andy Dehnart, the founder and editor of reality blurred. 'Our members independently selected these nominees, having championed these shows and in their writing, reporting, and criticism throughout the past year.'
The Television Critics Association (TCA) represents approximately 235 professional journalists who cover television for publications across the United States and Canada. The members reach tens of millions of consumers each week, and are considered experts within the industry, representing their employers as moderators, panelists, radio/TV guests and more. The prestigious organization honors outstanding achievements in television and enduring contributions to the medium's heritage through the TCA Awards each year.
Below is the list of the 2025 Television Critics Association nominees, excluding the Career Achievement and Heritage Award winners, which, all with all of the other category winners, will be announced later this summer.

Exclusive: Astronaut Kellie Gerardi on Becoming a Ship Godmother & How Her IVF Journey Shaped Her Resilience
When you think of transparency, strength, and greatness, of someone who truly wears their heart on their sleeve throughout every step of the way, you might think of the badass woman that is Kellie Gerardi. And if you don't, well, you should. Not only is she one of the first 100 women in space, but the astronaut's transparency about her fertility struggles has made her a pillar of hope and bravery for women going through their own fertility journeys. She's been open about everything from her IVF to raising her 7-year-old daughter, Delta V, and going on so many adventures both on Earth and in orbit. Her latest adventure? Joining Royal Caribbean as godmother of its brand new ship — fittingly called Star of the Seas! Gerardi may have partaken in the longstanding tradition of blessing the ship and all its crew and patrons, but she blessed SheKnows with an exclusive chat! In speaking with her, it's clear that what you see online is exactly who she is: hopeful, inspiring, and full of smiles. She isn't afraid to show life's realities — both ups and downs — to her many fans. The icon spoke on all things Star of the Seas, how she continues to be so open on social media, her IVF journey (and new pregnancy!), and more. More from SheKnows Exclusive: The Body Confidence Lesson Kylie Kelce Wants Every Girl to Hear SheKnows: It's so wonderful to meet you. How are you? Kellie Gerardi: Likewise! I am fantastic. I was just telling someone my cheeks hurt from smiling, and it just feels very special to be here today. So I'm having an incredible day. SK: Can you tell me a bit about how you ended up becoming the Godmother of the Star of the Seas? Gerardi: I have to say this past week has probably been one of the best weeks of my life, and I mean that truly. About a week ago, I got the call from Royal, specifically a FaceTime from Michael Bailey, the CEO of Royal Caribbean, and it was just such an immense honor. I was shocked by the ability to have this opportunity and to be a part of something so special. I did feel like it was a little bit of kismet in timing because it coincided with the same day that I received that incredible opportunity. I also found out after a very long and difficult secondary infertility and IVF journey that I'm pregnant and about five weeks along with the newest member of our family. Hopefully, all goes well. So it just felt like everything coming together in such a special way, and, I've just been on cloud nine for the last few days. SK: How are you feeling? Gerardi: So far, so good! I'm feeling surprisingly energetic, no sign of morning sickness of any type, which is great. I'll take that all day long, especially at sea! I've been feeling fantastic that the team here has been just so wonderful, and I am getting chills just getting ready for the naming ceremony tonight and watching some of the rehearsals. It's really hitting home that I get to be a part of something so special today. SK: That's amazing! What gave you the courage to share such personal parts of your life online? Gerardi: Undergoing IVF especially, but on the heels of nearly eight years of secondary infertility and having experienced all aspects of the spectrum, often either keeping something completely private and navigating that just by myself in isolation, or another time, sharing that early and having to 'unannounce' after a pregnancy loss. I feel like I have tried every angle of either being very transparent or very private. For me, it just felt right at this point in my life to share very transparently what the giant thousand-pound elephant was that was in my life, especially on the heels of a space flight, and having such a large platform. Gerardi: I feel very grateful that I've been met with so much compassion and support. I think this is so often a journey that women navigate in isolation, and it's one that can be very physically, emotionally, and often financially such a burden. It's something that I feel like I've been able to benefit from such a wonderful and supportive community around that has created a space for me to be very open, very vulnerable, very transparent, and in turn, be met with compassion and grace and empathy, and not only towards me, but towards each other. I think that, to me, has been the most special part. So often on the Internet, you know, it can be rare to see universally-positive comments. And so it's not something I'll ever take for granted. SK: Something I feel like people forget is that you can feel both the good and bad emotions at once. How do you remind yourself to honor both the joy and the pain without minimizing either? Gerardi: I don't know that I've found the perfect recipe for it. But I try to give myself a lot of grace, I think. There are days when my mindset is just stuck on, 'It's not fair. This is not supposed to be where I am right now. This was supposed to have happened years ago or months ago. It just wasn't the way it was supposed to go.' And then I have to reset my mindset and kind of recenter myself in gratitude, in optimism, reminding myself how grateful I am for all of the things that are currently in my life, the family that I have and the things that I still have to look forward to. Just tapping back into that resilience. I have a vision for my life that I've always had, and I have a goal for the family that I believe is waiting for me. So when I don't reach my goal and when obstacles happen, I'm not changing the goal; I'm changing the protocol. I refuse to believe that any of those dreams that I have are not meant for me. It's just not necessarily in the time that I expected. SK: I love that. That's a beautiful reminder for a lot of people. Gerardi: Aw. Thank you! SK: I've seen videos of you and your daughter conducting . How do you nurture her curiosity? And do you have tips for other parents trying to nurture their children's curiosity? Gerardi: I have to say, 7 has been such a fun age. I say that about every age. I've never been heavy-handed with trying to force a love of space or science on her. I do try to meet her where she's at and just understand what her natural curiosities are. What does she have questions about? What excites her? What gets her imagination turning? Then I try to nurture that, fuel that, and let that keep building and compounding. It really melts my heart when we're able to have those moments where suddenly she'll ask a question. She'll be like, 'I wonder what would happen if x-y-z,' and I'm able to say, 'You're right. That's an excellent question. Let's find out!' And we can do that together. So that's been a fun way to share my love of science and space with her in a way that feels very organic to her interests.' From space flights to ship christenings, from science experiments with her daughter to sharing the raw truths of infertility, Kellie Gerardi embodies what it means to live with equal parts courage and joy. She reminds us that adventure and bravery don't come without vulnerability, and that being open about the hardest parts of life can be just as inspiring as the highlight reel. Whether she's in orbit or at sea, she's blazing a trail for women everywhere — and showing us that maybe the sky isn't the limit, after all.

'Lurker' takes obsessive music fandom to a twisted new level. Here are 7 more movies about obsession you need to watch next.
'Lurker' hits theaters Aug. 22. How far would you go for a front-row seat to fame? That's the question at heart of Lurker, a new film from The Bear writer Alex Russell. In the movie, which hits theaters Aug. 22, Théodore Pellerin plays Matthew, whose chance encounter with rising musician Oliver (Archie Madekwe) leads to him joining the performer's inner circle. But it's not easy being on the inside, and the more desperate Matthew becomes to stay close to Oliver, the less Oliver wants him around — leading Matthew to make a series of disturbing choices in which he succeeds at flipping his dynamic with Oliver on its head. Lurker is not the first to give us insight into the joys — and inherent dangers — of obsession. The film, which currently has a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, fits firmly into a growing subgenre of movies that are about getting as close as possible to the object of one's unrelenting obsession. Eager to watch more? Here's some other movies to check out next. (2025) The upcoming Anniversary stars Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor as a young woman named Liz who worms her way into the family of her former professor (played by Diane Lane) when she dates her son (Dylan O'Brien). But Liz, who is associated with a 'radical' political movement, has an agenda — and her parasitic relationship to her old teacher's family comes with devastating consequences. Where to watch: In theaters, Oct. 29 (2023) The rich are different — and quite easily manipulated — in filmmaker Emerald Fennell's Saltburn, about Oxford student Oliver (Barry Keoghan) who befriends upper-crust classmate Felix (Jacob Elordi) and joins him for a summer on his family's sprawling estate. But by the time the family decides they don't want Oliver around, he's already sunk his claws into their lives and is refusing to let go. Where to watch: Prime Video (2017) In this black comedy, Ingrid (Aubrey Plaza) is a loner with no friends — well, in real life, at least. When she starts following free-spirited Venice Beach Instagram influencer Taylor (Elizabeth Olsen) Ingrid decides to head out to California to befriend her. It works — for a while, at least. But when Ingrid can't quite hide her obsession, things fall apart fast, and Ingrid spirals to comedic, and honestly really sad, results. Where to watch: Tubi (2010) Nina (Natalie Portman) has always wanted to be the star of her ballet company, but her shy, demure personality means she often fades into the background. But when the uninhibited Lily (Mila Kunis) joins the company, it sparks an intense connection — and rivalry. Nina's fascination with Lily draws out a darker side Nina has never seen before. Where to watch: Rent or buy on Prime Video (1999) While the 2024 Netflix series starring Andrew Scott also told the story of author Patricia Highsmith's famous con artist Tom Ripley, the 1999 film, starring Matt Damon as the titular character, portrays Ripley as a person obsessed. The object of his desire is shipping heir and playboy Dicky Greenleaf (Jude Law) — he can't help but want to be a part of his world. Unfortunately, Ripley's Italian vacation with Dicky takes a violent turn — and soon, Ripley isn't just living in Dicky's world, but is literally using his name and identity. Where to watch: Rent or buy on Prime Video (1992) When Allie (Bridget Fonda) puts out an ad for a new roommate in the paper after a breakup, Hedy (Jennifer Jason Leigh) shows up at her door — and at first, everything seems great. Then, Hedy starts getting weird: copying Allie's appearance, sabotaging her relationships and eventually trying to take over her life. As things escalate, Hedy's violent nature is revealed, leading to a showdown between these two roommates. A new version of Single White Female is currently in development, with Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell reportedly in consideration for the lead roles. Where to watch: Rent or buy on Prime Video (1950) Before Lurker showcased the dark side of fame, there was All About Eve — another movie about an obsessed fan who worms their way into the life of the object of their admiration. Eve (Anne Baxter) is a fan of famed actress Margo (Bette Davis) who becomes her personal assistant. But when Eve charms Margo's friends and the theater world at large, it becomes clear that Eve's true agenda is to shove Margo out of the spotlight so she can claim it for herself.

Apple TV Plus streaming service to cost $2 more per month in Canada
TORONTO — Prices are going up at the house of "Ted Lasso" and "Severance." Apple TV Plus has announced it's raising the cost to watch its streaming programs by $2 per month in Canada. Apple says it will now charge $14.99 a month, while the annual subscription price will remain at $129 per year. It's the first time the technology giant has hiked the fees at Apple TV Plus since late 2023. Other major streaming services, including Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video, have made similar moves in recent months, part of an effort to squeeze more profits out of viewers' shift away from traditional cable packages. While Apple TV Plus hosts a more limited selection of programming than its competitors, the brand has forged a reputation for its lavish productions, which include TV series "Silo" and "The Morning Show," as well as films "The Gorge" and best picture Oscar winner "Coda." The service also hosts major league soccer and baseball games. Earlier this year, Apple TV Plus launched its first app for Android devices, giving users of non-Apple phones and tablets mobile access to its entertainment library. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 21, 2025.
