2025 Emmy nominees: Which shows and actors could be honored? Here's a look at the contenders

LOS ANGELES — Get ready for the announcement of the 2025 Emmy nominations on July 15. Join On The Red Carpet as it explores the top contenders in an exciting new episode.

“On The Red Carpet: The Emmy Race Begins” showcases conversations with stars from acclaimed Emmy-winning series such as “The Bear,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Only Murders in the Building,” and “Abbott Elementary.”

“It’s wonderful to have people this involved with the show four seasons in,” said “Abbott Elementary” creator Quinta Brunson.

Brunson has won two Emmys for the ABC series in the past, one for acting and one for writing.

“It’s not easy to do,” she said. “I’m just so happy we’re able to continue turning out the good stuff and that people still want it.”

Another ABC hit with high potential for an Emmy nod is “High Potential” starring Kaitlin Olson.

The show about a brilliant single mom, who goes from police precinct janitor to a de facto detective, is ABC’s most-watched new show in seven years.

“I love her toughness and scrappiness,” shared Olson about her character. “I think she’s faced many challenges in life. Yet, she’s incredibly gentle and empathetic, not only towards her children but also to those in need.”

Meanwhile, longtime ABC star Ellen Pompeo from “Grey’s Anatomy” could score her first-ever Emmy nomination this year for the limited series, “Good American Family,” on Hulu.

In the series, inspired by true events, Pompeo plays a mother who adopts a little girl with dwarfism, but becomes suspicious that the girl may actually be an adult posing as a child.

“I got the opportunity to disappear into a new character and create a whole other person and have my fans see me do something different,” Pompeo told On The Red Carpet.

Another one of the strongest contenders this year comes from a galaxy far, far away.

Season 1 of “Andor” earned eight Emmy nominations, including best drama.

Now, the second and final season is streaming on Disney+ and the Emmy force is strong with this one.

“I can tell you we fully committed,” said “Andor” star Diego Luna. “We gave everything we had. After Season 1 we tried to do something even better, more ambitious definitely, and it was a challenge. But I’m glad people are receiving it well.”

Other Emmy contenders interviewed for the special include Sterling K. Brown for “Paradise,” Katherin Hahn for “Agatha All Along,” Charlie Cox for “Daredevil,” Michelle Williams for “Dying For Sex” and many others.
