Where to stream some of this year's top Emmy-nominated shows and how long it will take to watch them

Now that the Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been announced, you've got two months to catch up on some of the year's most-acclaimed shows. Some binges may take longer than others, but the list below should help you choose what to watch and how long it should take to catch up. For those looking for the most bang for their streaming buck, HBO Max has the most shows nominated this year. Comedian Nate Bargatze hosts the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 14 on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. —— 'Severance' (27 Emmy Nominations): Streaming on Apple TV+ In 'Severance,' Adam Scott's character Mark works for a corporation that implants a chip in its employees' brains, so they forget about their outside lives while at work and have no memory of their work when they're off. Mark begins to question his work life when he encounters a colleague outside who knows who he is. Beyond the dinner party conversation of 'would you want that microchip,' the show has become an obsession for fans who analyze scenes, look for clues and try to make sense of its many mysteries.

Emmy Snubs and Surprises: Diego Luna and ‘Squid Game' Shut Out, Nathan Fielder, ‘Black Mirror' In

Just when you thought awards season was over, it's time for the Emmys. Nominations for TV's highest honor were announced Tuesday morning, sparking a race that's been heating up for months. Only one of last year's nominees for Best Drama Series remains eligible in 2025, which makes securing a nod (and snagging the trophy) that much more valuable. (Breaking through at the Emmys is critical for shows eyeing to return, season after season.) The Best Comedy Series race is a toss-up, with last year's surprise victor 'Hacks' going toe-to-toe with the one-time favorite, 'The Bear,' and strong newcomers like 'The Studio.' As for Best Limited Series, 'Adolescence' seems primed to rack up trophies, but the race can change at any time and being recognized really is an honor unto itself. With 600 programs submitted in the Best Series categories — only 14 fewer than last year — there is still far too much TV for any voter to watch in the time allotted, which means… there will be snubs. Yes, it's time to talk about the snubs and surprises of 2025, but before we get into it, please remember: More from IndieWire How to Watch the 2025 Emmy Nominations Announced Live 2025 Emmy Predictions: Who Will Win at the Primetime Emmy Awards? 'Andor' Writer Beau Willimon Breaks Down Saw Gerrera's 'Absolutely Wackadoodle' Rhydo Speech Here at IndieWire, a 'snub' is just industry shorthand for a series or individual who was expected to be nominated, thought to be deserving of a nomination, or both, and yet — for whatever reason — they did not receive recognition for their work. (Not today, anyway — there's always the fall awards!) Labeling any such program or person a 'snub' does not convey intent; it does't mean their peers had it out for them, or voters purposefully shunned one potential nominee in favor of another. On the other end of the spectrum, anything dubbed a 'surprise' is a series or individual who was thought to be out of the running before nominations were announced; something or someone who was written off too early, whether it was because they didn't mount much of a campaign, didn't match up well in their category, or simply didn't get the typical plaudits heaped upon your standard Emmy nominee. By and large, it's best if you remember, dear readers, that the very nature of competition means not everyone can win (or, in this case, be nominated), and it's only human for those invested in television to react with shock and awe, admiration and anger, to the TV Academy's picks for the season's best shows. So, without further ado, let's dig in: (OK, there's just one more little bit of to-do: Voting for the 2025 Emmy winners will begin August 18 and end August 27 at 10 p.m. PT. The 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set for Sunday, September 14 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.) With additional reporting by Proma Khosla.

‘Madam Secretary' co-stars Téa Leoni and Tim Daly are now real-life spouses

Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. 'Madam Secretary.' The pair of actors, who shared the screen on the CBS political drama, will now share a life together as husband and wife, making their TV romance a reality. Leoni, 59, and Daly, 69, tied the knot Sunday in a private ceremony, The Times confirmed Tuesday. Leoni and Daly began dating in the summer of 2014 and starred in 'Madam Secretary' as United States Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord and her scholar husband Henry McCord. The series aired on CBS from September 2014 to December 2019. A representative for Leoni did not confirm additional details about the newlyweds' ceremony, but People reported that the actors' intimate nuptials took place in New York with only immediate family as attendees. Leoni and Daly began their romance just before the former finalized her divorce with 'X Files' star David Duchovny. Leoni and Duchovny wed in 1997 after meeting on 'The Tonight Show' and share two adult children, actor West Duchovny and Kyd Miller Duchovny. Before David Duchovny, Leoni was married to TV producer Neil Joseph Tardio Jr. from 1991 to 1995. Daly's marriage to Leoni marks his second: He was previously married to theater actor Amy Van Nostrand. The exes share children Sam and Emelyn. Before crossing paths on 'Madam Secretary,' both Leoni and Daly had established their screen careers with a variety of TV and film credits. Leoni came to the CBS series with films including 'Bad Boys,' 'Spanglish' and 'Jurassic Park III' under her belt. She also appeared in the series 'The Naked Truth' and 'Flying Blind.' Daly's resume includes the series 'Wings' and 'Private Practice,' and he voiced Superman in several animated projects. In a March 2024 interview with the 'Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson' podcast, Daly spoke to its host about finding love on 'Madam Secretary.' He said his views about starting a committed relationship later in his life changed once he met Leoni. 'It's the deepest, most fun, most truly intimate relationship I've ever had,' he said.

U.N. Nuclear Watchdog Chief Contradicts Trump's ‘Total Obliteration' Claim On Iran

Rafael Grossi, the head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, disputed President Donald Trump's assessment that Iran's missile sites were 'totally obliterated' by U.S. airstrikes earlier this month. In an interview with CBS' 'Face the Nation' broadcast on Sunday, Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said intelligence shows that Iran could have 'in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium, or less than that.' Still, Grossi noted that the U.S. operation targeting three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan — did have an impact, but perhaps not one as decisive as Trump has suggested. 'It is clear that there has been severe damage, but it's not total damage,' he added. 'Iran has the capacities there; industrial and technological capacities. So if they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again.' The White House has so far not addressed Grossi's comments. The president told Americans that 'Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated' by U.S. airstrikes launched on June 21 amid Tehran's 12-day war with Israel. He has since lashed out at journalists who reported on a preliminary U.S. analysis showing the strikes would merely delay Iran's nuclear program by months, threatening lawsuits against both CNN and The New York Times for reporting on the Pentagon report. CIA Director John Ratcliffe has since claimed Iran's nuclear program was 'severely damaged,' citing what he described as a 'body of credible intelligence.' Meanwhile, Grossi said it's possible that Iran may have moved some of its enriched uranium prior to this month's U.S. attack, stressing the need for transparency and nuclear inspectors to be allowed to resume their work in the country. 'Some could have been destroyed as part of the attack, but some could have been moved,' Grossi said. 'So there has to be, at some point, a clarification. If we don't get that clarification, this will continue to be hanging, you know, over our heads as a potential problem.' Last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth did not directly answer a question on whether the U.S. believed Iran had moved its enriched uranium ahead of the airstrikes. 'We're looking at all aspects of intelligence and making sure we have a sense of what was where,' he said after lashing out at the Fox News reporter who asked for clarity on the issue. While Grossi stressed the importance of striking a diplomatic solution on Iran's nuclear program, Trump said he is not currently talking to the country's representatives since the June 21 operation in a post on his Truth Social platform early Monday.

Kathy Bates Becomes Oldest Best Drama Actress Emmy Nominee

Kathy Bates has just become the oldest nominee for best drama actress for the 2025 Emmys at the age of 77. Bates was nominated for her role as Madeline 'Matty' Matlock on the CBS revival of the legal drama Matlock, which debuted on Oct. 17, 2024. Nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards were presented by Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song at a ceremony held on Tuesday, July 15. Also nominated in the Emmy category of best lead actress in a drama series are Sharon Horgan for Bad Sisters, Britt Lower for Severance, Bella Ramsey for The Last of Us and Keri Russell for The Diplomat. More from The Hollywood Reporter Emmy Awards: Nominations List (Updating Live) 2025 Emmy Nominations: Watch the Livestream Emmys: 'Daily Show,' 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!,' 'Late Show' Nominated in Shrunken Talk Series Field Upon the series premiere of Matlock last year, Bates told The Hollywood Reporter that she wasn't looking to take on a lead role in a TV show when the opportunity to portray the wealthy retired lawyer who returns to the workforce under false pretenses came to her. In fact, she was leaning toward the opposite. 'Quite frankly, I was thinking about going into semi-retirement, and just waiting to see what came along that I might like to do,' she confessed. 'So this came as a total surprise to me, and continues to be because of the latest numbers that we've gotten.' Matlock, developed by Jennie Snyder Urman, brought in 7.73 million viewers for its debut, the largest series premiere audience for a CBS show in more than five years since The Code followed an episode of NCIS in April 2019. 'I just feel so lucky to have such a strong foundation behind us and the show,' Bates added. 'I know everyone says that when they're marketing a show, but this is really unlike anything I've ever experienced. I really can't believe all this, especially at my age.' The 77th Emmy Awards will be hosted by Nate Bargatze and broadcast live Sunday, Sept. 14, (8-11 p.m. ET/5-8 p.m. PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.* See the full list of nominees here.
