How “Severance,” “The Studio” and “Adolescence” could follow in the footsteps of past Emmy sweepers like "Schitt's Creek," “The Crown” and “The Bear."

Nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards - television’s top honor - were revealed Tuesday. The Apple TV+ series “Severance” was the most-nominated series, notching 27 nominations, according to the Television Academy.

Shows hosted by Jon Stewart (“The Daily Show”), Stephen Colbert (“The Late Show”) and Jimmy Kimmel (“Jimmy Kimmel Live”) will compete for best talk series. Only three series were nominated this year, leaving “Late Night With Seth Meyers” and “Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney” out in the cold.

The show’s star, Noah Wyle, has five Emmy nominations to his name from his days on that other medical drama he once starred in, ER, but honestly, he hit a new level of performance with The Pitt. Though he never won for ER, and he might not win here, given the competition, his performance is riveting, heartfelt, and most importantly, real.

Severance creator Dan Erickson opens up about Season 2's 27 Emmy nominations and what's going on with Season 3.
