“The White Lotus,” with 24 nominations, was the most-watched drama nominee so far this year, ranking as the No. 16 most-watched streaming program with 11.46 billion minutes viewed, according to Nielsen.

However, the Mike White-born series left a few key castmembers like Patrick Schwarzenegger, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola and Leslie Bibb without nominations.

The 2025 Emmy race has finally kicked off, with Apple’s twisty workplace drama “Severance” leading all shows with 27 nominations. HBO’s DC supervillain series “The Penguin” is close behind with 24 nods, followed by Apple and Seth Rogen’s Hollywood satire “The Studio” and HBO’s vacation thriller “The White Lotus” with 23 apiece.
