Apple TV+’s Severance is leading the way at this year’s TCA Awards. According to Variety, the show grabbed five nominations, more than any other title on the list, including Program of the Year and multiple individual acting nods. Not far behind are four strong contenders with four nominations each: Adolescence on Netflix, HBO Max’s Hacks and The Pitt, and Apple’s The Studio. All four are also in the running for the top honor.
Voting took place earlier this summer, with over 230 members of the Television Critics Association weighing in. Variety reports that the members reviewed eligible shows that aired between June 2024 and the end of May 2025. Anything released on a major platform was fair game.
Categories span everything from drama and comedy to reality, kids’ shows, limited series and news coverage.
