Emmy voters sure know how to take a bite of the Apple. As the Television Academy unveiled nominations for the 77th Emmy Awards on Tuesday, Apple TV+’s hits “Severance” and “The Studio” led the tallies for both drama and comedy series, respectively.
HBO Max, meanwhile, led the overall network tally at 142 — thanks to shows including “The Penguin” (the most in limited/anthology), “The White Lotus,” “The Last of Us” and “Hacks.” That’s up from the outlet’s previous best, 140 in 2022.
But “Severance,” which scored 27 noms, and “The Studio,” which landed 23 noms, were undeniable. In particular, “The Studio” has now earned the most comedy nominations in a single year, ever — tying Season 3 of “The Bear,” which earned 23 nods in 2024.

What Do We Know About the long-awaited third season of HBO drama Euphoria? More than you may think. With three years having elapsed since the acclaimed second season of Sam Levinson’s teen drama premiered, stars Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, and Hunter Schafer have exploded in popularity, leaving fans desperate for new episodes of the show. From plot, casting news, and more, let’s dive in and look at what is coming up in the third season of Euphoria.
Why has it taken so long for Season 3 to happen?
Initially, the third season was slated for 2023 production and release, but that was delayed by production preparations and then by the Writers’ Guild and SAG strikes. With HBO then announcing a 2025 premiere date to give creator Sam Levinson and the writing staff time to ready the new episodes, production was once again disrupted in March 2024 with an indefinite hiatus that put the...

Forget Clickers — the real terror for The Last of Us fans is seeing their favorite episodes ranked low on best-of lists.
Based on the beloved video game, HBO's zombie apocalypse drama follows Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they struggle to survive in a world full of zombie-like creatures who were transformed after a mass fungal infection. To date, 16 episodes have aired — nine in Season 1 (2023) and seven in Season 2 (2025) — and a third season has been ordered. While most of the episodes wowed viewers, some had fans reaching for their remotes. Scroll through our gallery below to see The Last of Us episodes ranked worst to best.
Some of the human characters Joel and Ellie meet along the way include Tommy (Gabriel Luna), Joel's younger brother; Tess (Anna Torv), Joel's initial partner; Riley (Storm Reid), Ellie's childhood best friend; Bill (Nick Offerman) and Frank (Murray Bartlett), gay survivalists who...

Coming off their acclaimed turn as Ellie in the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey is reportedly being eyed for a Marvel Studios role.
Though this should only be viewed as a rumor for the time being, scooper Mttsh is claiming that Marvel is interested in signing Ramsey for a "big role" in an upcoming project. This obviously covers a lot of ground and even more potential characters, and it's entirely possible that Kevin Feige and co. simply have the highly in-demand actor on their radar.
Ramsey might well have taken a meeting (or two), but Marvel meets with a lot of talent, often without any specific role in mind.
That said, there are some major MCU movies on the horizon, and - assuming this is accurate - we can't help but wonder if Ramsey might be in line for a role in the upcoming X-Men reboot.

Warning: Spoilers for Season 2 of The Last of Us ahead!
HBO has just revealed its Emmy submission categories for The Last of Us, fresh off of its second season finale. The big news: Pedro Pascal will once again compete for Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
Now, anyone familiar with the most recent season's second episode knows how destructive a golf club can be and that Pascal could have run for Supporting Actor. The decision seems to be weighing his presence in the back half of the season, including a powerhouse performance in the penultimate episode, "The Price."
Also confirmed was the obvious placement of Bella Ramsey in Lead Actress, truer than ever this season.
Isabela Merced (who plays Dina), Young Mazino (Jesse), and Gabriel Luna (Tommy) will compete in their respective supporting categories.

Photograph by Liane Hentscher/HBO | The Last of Us 16. Season 1, Episode 4, "Please Hold To My Hand"
I don't think there are any truly bad episodes of The Last of Us, at least not yet. HBO has put a lot of care and time into this grand zombie drama, and it pays off.
There are some episodes that are a bit on the boring side, particularly when they need to set up future events. Such is the case with "Please Hold To My Hand."

The second season of the video game adaptation takes place five years after the events of the Season 1 finale.

Season 2, which follows the events of the video game’s 2020 sequel “The Last of Us: Part II,” will see the effects of Joel’s decision play out as he and Ellie are drawn into a conflict with both each other and a world that’s even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left.

Footage from this Sunday's season 2 finale of The Last of Us has leaked online, and fans have been reacting to what appears to be at least one significant change to how these events play out in the Naughty Dog video game, The Last of Us Part II.
We're not sure if the entire episode was posted at any point, but the finale was made available early to people who bought the season pass for the show through Apple. The episode - reportedly titled "Convergence" - was quickly removed ahead of the intended May 25 broadcast date, but not before clips began to circulate on social media.
Spoilers follow.
It looks like the finale is going to cover Ellie picking off the rest of Abby's friends and Abby arriving to the abandoned theater where Ellie, Dina, Jesse and Tommy are holed up to exact her revenge. In the game, Abby kills Jesse...

Season 2 of The Last of Us concludes next Sunday, and HBO has now shared a series of new promo stills and two clips teasing what's to come in what promises to be an eventful and intense episode.
Spoilers for previous episodes and (potentially) the finale follow.
The penultimate episode, "The Price," consisted of a series of flashbacks to Joel and Ellie's life in Jackson prior to the former's death at the hands of Abby. We learned that Ellie did speak to Joel on his porch the night of the New Year's Eve dance, telling him that she would "like to try" to forgive him for his murderous actions in Salt Lake City back in the season 1 finale.
We are now building to a face-off between Ellie and Abby, but will we see it this Sunday? Without giving too much away for anyone who hasn't played the video game, there...

‘The Last of Us’: Kaitlyn Dever will campaign as guest actress at the Emmys for Season 2 (exclusive)
One of this year’s great Emmy category mysteries has been solved. Gold Derby has learned exclusively that The Last of Us star Kaitlyn Dever will campaign in the Best Drama Guest Actress category at the Emmy Awards.
Dever could have picked the guest category or the Best Drama Supporting Actress field on the Emmys ballot, as she will ultimately appear in fewer than 50 percent of the Season 2 episodes.
A new addition to the series for Season 2, Dever plays the pivotal role of Abby, the character who takes revenge on Joel (Pedro Pascal) and kills him after Joel murdered her father at the end of Season 1. Dever has been widely praised for her complex performance, especially in the season’s second episode, when Abby confronts Joel over what he has done and gets her vengeance.

The Last Of US Season 2, Episode 5 Teaser Finally Introduces A Terrifying Threat From The Video Game
In this week's episode of The Last of Us season 2, "Day One," Ellie and Dina narrowly escape from a horde of infected, with Ellie taking a bite in the arm in order to protect the woman she loves.
Of course, Dina had been kept in the dark about Ellie's immunity, and was fully prepared to shoot her in the head to prevent her from becoming a ravenous killer. Fortunately, Ellie is able to convince Dina that she will not turn, and the latter expresses her relief by first telling Ellie that she is pregnant with Jesse's child, and then instigating their first roll in the hay.
The episode also featured a recreation of what has become almost an iconic moment from the game, as Ellie plays a rendition of Ah-ha's "Take On Me" for Dina after discovering a guitar in a run-down music shop.

Two of the stars of The Last of Us are on the rise this week in Gold Derby's Emmy predictions.
Pedro Pascal, whose beloved character Joel had a brutal run-in with a golf club in the second episode of Season 2, has jumped from fourth place to third place in Best Drama Actor.

Series lead Bella Ramsey is still in second place in Best Drama Actress, behind only Kathy Bates (Matlock), who has claimed the No. 1 position since we began tracking the 2025 Emmys. Ramsey's defiant character Ellie must now learn how to survive without her father figure in her life.

As The Last of Us season 2 continues, Ellie (Bella Ramsey) must walk "The Path" for the first time in over five years without Joel Miller (Pedro Pascal).
In this week's episode, Ellie and Dina (Isabela Merced) decide to set off to Seattle to track down and execute Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) - and any of her allies that happen to get in their way - as revenge for her murder of Joel in "Through the Valley," but they vastly underestimate the size of the force that awaits them.
In the final shot, we see an entire army of Wlf (or "Wolves") soldiers patrolling the streets as Ellie and Dina approach the city on horseback.
Now, HBO has released a preview for next Sunday's episode, and in introduces the man who leads the Wlf, Isaac (Jeffrey Wright), in their war against Fedra (Federal Disaster Response Agency) and, more pertinently for this particular story,...

Studios and campaigners have until May 8 to finalize their 2025 Emmys submissions, and this year in particular, there seems to be more behind-the-scenes strategizing (and last-minute second-guessing) than ever before. After all, deciding whether a performer contends in lead vs. supporting vs. guest can mean the difference between winning a trophy — and being snubbed completely.
Two of the most talked-about Emmy category mysteries that still remain involve Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us) and Allison Janney (The Diplomat).
Warning: this article contains massive spoilers for both of their shows, so read at your own risk!
Pedro Pascal
The show: The Last of Us (Season 2)
The character: Joel Miller, an initial survivor of the zombie apocalypse
The decision: Pascal previously earned a Best Drama Actor Emmy nomination for Season 1, where he was bested by Kieran Culkin (Succession). The shocking death of Pascal's character in Season 2, Episode 2 means he'll have much less screen time this season,...

Much has been made about The White Lotus' domination in the acting categories at the Emmys. It received eight nominations for Season 1 in limited in 2022 and improved to nine for Season 2 in drama in 2023. You know what other show got nine acting nominations that year? The Last of Us.
It was easy for the dystopian drama's haul to be overshadowed that year between The White Lotus' increase even with the genre switch and Succession matching its own record of 14 nominations in one year for its final season. But few, if anyone, saw the Last of Us coming in acting. It was "only" predicted to snag six acting bids in Gold Derby's odds. And now for Season 2, it can do even better.
What was notable about The Last of Us' nine nominations was that the show achieved it without any supporting players. Season 1 was a very guest-forward installment, and the nominations...

The Best Drama Actress Emmy race could be one for the ages this year. Kathy Bates would become the category's oldest winner at 77 if she prevails for Matlock, but one the other end of the spectrum, Bella Ramsey would be the youngest winner with a victory for The Last of Us.
Ramsey, who'd also be the first non-binary performer to win an Emmy, will be 11 days shy of their 22nd birthday at the time of Emmy ceremony on Sept. 14. They would dethrone Zendaya, who was 24 when she won her first of two trophies for Euphoria in 2020. Ramsey could've set this record on their first nomination for the HBO drama at 20 at the delayed 2023 ceremony, but they lost to Sarah Snook (Succession).
Recent trends favor Ramsey to make history more so than Bates. Zendaya broke the record just a year after Jodie Comer set it with her Best Drama Actress win...

The Last of Us Season 1 ended two years ago, and it was arguably one of the best video game adaptations ever made. The show was a massive success that introduced Joel and Ellie to a new audience while giving fans of the source material a different version of the story they all know and love. While the show was a success, the showrunners had to cut a few corners and make a few creative changes.
Regardless of what was omitted in the first season, it perfectly translated the story to a new medium. Each episode was crafted with great care and made by fans, and this article will be our ranking of every episode of the first season.

Warning: major spoilers for The Last of Us season 2 episode 2, “Through the Valley".
HBO is back in action with The Last of Us season 2, and as we head into the events of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II, showrunners Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann are doing their best to keep gaming fans on their toes. While the big story of the week is the shock demise of Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller just two episodes in, that’s not the only controversy facing April 20’s “Through the Valley”.
It’s not just the mushroom monsters of the Cordyceps infection looming over The Last of Us with the specter of death, as both the show and the game have taught us that the other survivors are just as deadly. There was a lot to pack into the first two episodes, with Kaitlyn Dever’s Abby Anderson cementing herself...

"Slowly. When we kill him, we kill him slowly."
As character introductions go, it doesn't get much more unnerving than Abby Anderson's debut in last night's season 2 premiere of The Last of Us. In a change to the Naughty Dog video game that's proven to be somewhat divisive, the show immediately explains why Abby is seeking revenge against the man who killed her father in the season 1 finale, Joel Miller.
Abby convinces her friends to help her track Joel down, but they decide to investigate a new faction (who will turn out to be the Washington Liberation Front/Wlf) first, and we don't see them again until the closing moments of "Future Days" when Abby's crew arrives to the outskirts of the Jackson settlement.

Season 2 of The Last of Us premiered last night, and HBO has now released a new weeks ahead trailer spotlighting some of the major events to come.
Spoilers follow.
In "Future Days," we are introduced to Abby Anderson (Kaitlyn Dever), the daughter of the doctor Joel (Pedro Pascal) killed in the season 1 finale while rescuing Ellie (Bella Ramsey). In a significant change to the Naughty Dog video game, we learn Abby's motivations for seeking revenge against Joel immediately.
Abby convinces her friends and fellow Fireflies to help her track Joel down, but all she has is his first name and vague description to go on.
We then jump forward five years, with Joel and Ellie fully settled into a relatively peaceful life in Jackson. Ellie is barely speaking to Joel after finding out the truth about what happened the day he saved her from the Fireflies.

This post contains spoilers about The Last of Us Part II video game and the Season 2 premiere, “Future Days”
The physical appearance of Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) isn’t the only difference between The Last of Us Season 2 and the video game on which the show is based. As The Last of Us co-creator, writer, and director Neil Druckmann explained last month during a press conference before the Emmy Award-winning show’s Season 2 premiere, the audience’s introduction to Abby was also tweaked.
“In the game, you play as Abby, so you immediately form an empathic connection with her, because you’re surviving as her, you’re running through the snow, you’re fighting infected. And we can withhold certain things and make it a mystery that will be revealed later in the story,” Druckmann said. “We couldn’t do that in the show because you’re not playing as her.

Every path has a price on the HBO drama The Last of Us, including a trip to the Emmy Awards. When the HBO drama from Craig Mazin and The Last of Us video game creator Neil Druckmann premiered in 2023, it became an instant sensation. It struck a chord with Television Academy members to the tune of 24 overall Emmy nominations and eight eventual wins at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony, including for guest actors Nick Offerman and Storm Reid. However, with success comes expectations, and the prevailing thought ahead of the Season 2 premiere on Sunday is that The Last of Us could expand its nominations total and compete for Primetime Emmy Awards glory.
Here are some instant Emmy predictions for The Last of Us.

“The Last of Us” finally returns for Season 2 on HBO, but it might be good for a refresher on their harrowing first-season journey.
Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsay) are forced together after the former agrees to escort the latter to a facility in Colorado because she’s immune to the deadly Cordyceps fungus that brought the world to its knees. Their travels were filled with blood and loss, but eventually, they made it – only for Joel to decide he’d rather save Ellie than potentially everyone on the planet.
Before jumping into “The Last of Us” Season 2, remind yourself what happened during Season 1 below.

“The Last of Us” isn’t for the faint of heart for those who get attached to characters – because often they are not long for this world.
The first season of the HBO adaptation had a pretty high body count. So high that it might actually be hard to keep track of the deaths that “mattered” as opposed to the ones that just happened as Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsay) went from A to B.

HBO’s Emmy Award-winning hit series The Last of Us is back.
On Monday, the network dropped its review embargo on the new episodes, and the consensus is that the show remains as upsetting and unsettling as ever, albeit with a shocking twist that changes its scope and future.
The seven-episode second season premieres on Sunday.
That game-changing shift is well-known to fans of The Last of Us video game franchise (or anyone who has read the game’s Wikipedia summary). Showrunner Craig Mazin has somewhat alluded to it in pre-release interviews, comparing the show to the conclusion of Star Wars — The Empire Strikes Back.
“I think about that a lot — because I love The Empire Strikes Back, and I think everybody should,” Mazin told The Hollywood Reporter. “We love that one because the second act is the tough act. That’s when everything is challenged and characters go through...

Season 2 of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us is now just a few days away. The new batch of episodes are scheduled to begin airing on April 13th – and ahead of that date, HBO officially announced that the show has been renewed for a third season! Of course, there’s no word on when season 3 will premiere, because the second season has to have its seven episode run first.

The Last of Us Season 1 was one of HBO’s biggest shows of 2023 and became the first video game adaptation ever nominated for Best Drama Series at the Emmys. After more than two years, Season 2 debuts on Sunday. Here’s what you must remember about the post-apocalyptic thriller’s first season before watching Season 2.
What’s The Last of Us about?
The Last of Us is based on a popular and acclaimed video game franchise created by Neil Druckmann of the game studio Naughty Dog. Craig Mazin (Chernobyl) and Druckmann are the series creators, executive producers, and writers.
The series is set in a near-future America ravaged by a fungal infection that turns people into zombie-like Cordyceps mushroom monsters. The pandemic led to mass death and the collapse of society, and survivors are either living in fortified colonies or making do on their own. Two of those survivors are Joel...

The Conjuring: Last Riteswill bring the story of the Warrens on the big screen to a close, but that doesn't mean that the Conjuring franchise is coming to an end. The head of New Line, Richard Brener, was eager to discuss the future of the series in a recent interview. This year's sequel will mark the end of an era for the horror blockbuster hit. But Warner Bros. and New Line are aware that a continuous investment in the series could create profits for both parties for years to come. Here's what Richard Brener had to say regarding what fans can expect out of The Conjuring after the release of Last Rites:

Black Panther singer and One Of Them Days star, Sza, is ready to take this whole acting thing a bit more seriously — super seriously, in fact. And considering she already has one foot in the door at Marvel thanks to her award-winning song with Kendrick Lamar, "All the Stars" from the 2018 film, we could see one particular "dream role" of hers becoming a reality. After all, she's already technically played a superhero once before (albeit for a State Farm commercial).
But while speaking to fellow singer/actress Jennifer Hudson on her eponymous daytime talk show, Sza revealed she'd love to tackle the origin story of Ororo Munroe — better known to comic book fans as Storm, a role originally inhabited by none other than Halle Berry (and more recently Alexandra Shipp). And you know what? We could totally see her pulling it off.

Season 2 of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us is now just three weeks away! The new batch of episodes are scheduled to begin airing on April 13th – and ahead of that date, a new poster for the new season has been unveiled. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.
The story of the The Last of Us video game is set years after a fungal plague wiped out much of humanity, transforming most into vicious zombie-like monsters, the story follows Joel, who’s living in a militarized quarantine zone. He has a close relationship with Tess, who operates in the black market of this community. Together, they’ve become known by the local criminal underworld for their ruthlessness. On a mission to reclaim their stolen guns, they run into the leader of the Fireflies, a resistance group, who tasks them...

The “clickers” in the “The Last of Us” are zombies whose fungus has grown so infected, it has both blinded them and made their hearing hyper-sensitive. In the video game on which the hit HBO television series is based, players use stealth to evade them and respond to the sound of the monsters’ clicks in order to survive.
For Deaf players, developer Naughty Dog’s game is top of the line in terms of accessibility, implementing subtle visual cues to make players aware of looming danger, putting those players on equal footing with hearing players. It’s only fitting then that the series adaptation of “The Last of Us” be as inclusive for Deaf viewers as the game is.

HBO recently debuted an intense full trailer for the second season of The Last of Us, and we now have a new poster and some promo stills to go with it.
The key art features returning protagonists Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), while the images spotlight several supporting characters as well as the season's new antagonist, Abby (Kaitlyn Dever).
Abby Anderson might well go down as one of the most despised video game characters in history (you'll find out why soon enough), and Dever was fully aware that taking on the role would open the door to a certain amount of backlash.
"Well, it's hard not to see those things on the internet," the Apple Cider Vinegar star tells Screen Rant. "It's hard not to stop myself from looking at it every once in a while, especially going into this, for sure. And I want to do this...

Are the outies at the Emmys ready to show Severance some major love after its three-year absence?
Apple TV+'s buzzy sci-fi series currently claims the No. 1 position in Gold Derby's Best Drama Series Emmy odds. Season 2 has been airing since mid-January, with a finale date scheduled for March 21. In 2022, the first season of Severance nabbed 14 total nominations and won two Emmys for main title design and music composition, but it fell short of the top prize. Will it expand the haul this year?
Created by Dan Erickson, Severance follows a group of characters played by Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, and Zach Cherry as workers at the sinister Lumon Industries who agree to separate their workplace memories from their external memories. This weekend at the Severance panel at SXSW, director-executive producer Ben Stiller said, "It's been fun to watch how the audiences have gone beyond the concept … and...

Season 2 of the HBO series adaptation of the video game The Last of Us is now just one month away! The new batch of episodes are scheduled to begin airing on April 13th – and ahead of that date, Variety has revealed the names of six new additions to the cast, including the great Joe Pantoliano (The Matrix). The actor, who is often referred to as “Joey Pants,” recently appeared on just one episode of Dexter: Original Sin as a character called Mad Dog, who exited way too soon. Here’s hoping he’ll be on The Last of Us for a while longer.
Pantoliano’s fellow new additions to the cast are Alanna Ubach (Euphoria), Ben Ahlers (The Gilded Age), Hettienne Park (Hannibal), Robert John Burke (RoboCop 3), and Noah Lamanna (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds). Details on their characters have not been revealed.
