We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. Et/ 5:00 p.m. Pt.
The State of the Race
Unfortunately, unlike the Comedy and Drama categories, which have expanded in recent years, the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category at the Emmys still only allows for five nominees. Shows that premiere earlier in the season tend to be favored, making the spring schedule, when the majority of these shows are released, a very tight competition for voters’ attention.

Matthew Modine is the latest actor to join the Monsterverse.
The actor, who had a resurgence thanks to his work on Netflix’s Stranger Things, has closed a deal to join the cast of Legendary’s latest installment of its Godzilla-King Kong movie franchise.
Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is directing the creature feature, which one again showcases gigantic monsters and the tiny humans caught in between.
Plot details from the David Callaham-written script are being kept under the Earth’s crust, but Legendary has said the story will feature “several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.”
The call sheet already includes new-to-the-franchise actors Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O’Connell and Delroy Lindo. Dan Stevens is reprising his role of laid-back monster veterinarian and dentist Trapper, whom he played in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

ITV Studios Quarterly Revenue Falls 20 Percent, Hit by Hollywood Strikes; ITV Adds $13M in Cost Cuts
U.K. TV giant ITV, led by CEO Carolyn McCall, reported a 20 percent drop in revenue for its ITV Studios production arm on Thursday, “impacted by the phasing of deliveries and the 2023 U.S. writers’ and actors’ strike.”
However, ITV Studios is on track to deliver record adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and amortization for the full year 2024, “reflecting efficiency gains and a significant fourth-quarter delivery schedule.” ITV Studios revenue is expected to decline in the mid-single digit percent range over the full year though. The company said that will be “only marginally down year-on-year (when) excluding the impact of the U.S. actors’ and writers’ strikes.”
Meanwhile, total advertising revenue was flat in the third quarter, as projected by the company.
And streaming service Itvx “continued to perform strongly with 14 percent growth in streaming hours and 15 percent growth in digital advertising revenue” in the nine months to Sept. 30.”

It’s been quite a few months for Justin Timberlake, one of the most famous entertainers in the world. The former Nsync star was arrested for Dwi back in June. In an exclusive with People, a source close to Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, talked about the impact the Dwi had on their home life together. Biel, who’s known to enjoy her privacy, was allegedly quite frustrated that Timberlake’s name was in the news for a less-than-ideal reason. The main thing to be thankful for is that nobody, including Timberlake, was hurt while he was behind the wheel. Timberlake says he’s done what he can to make up for the Dwi.

U.K. broadcaster ITV has reported mixed financial fortunes for the first quarter of 2024.

They say not to judge a book by its cover, but how about by its screen adaptation? A film version used to be the logical and desirable next step for any successful literary property, but in the past decade-and-change those have often been TV shows instead. The book-to-tv pipeline is dense and mighty, and the promised binge of a book club favorite is as highly-anticipated as any primetime drama. What changes did the author (often part of the production team) allow or implement? What works better (or worse) on screen? Did this need to be a TV show, or could it have been left alone in its original form?
In 2024 alone, there were plenty of TV adaptations of books from many different genres, including “Ripley,” “Apples Never Fall,” “Expats,” and many, many more. 2025 will find adaptations such as “Apple Cider Vinegar” (based on the book “The Woman Who Fooled the...
