Emmy season is upon us, and while we won’t see those nominations until July 15, the second annual Gotham Television Awards could give us a taste of what to expect from TV’s biggest night. In the mix are critically-acclaimed series such as Netflix’s “Adolescence,” Max’s “The Pitt,” AppleTV+’s “The Studio” and FX/Hulu’s “Dying for Sex,” “Say Nothing” and “English Teacher,” among several newcomers.

“Building on the success of last year’s inaugural ceremony, the Gotham Television Awards returns with new categories, expanded tributes and a larger stage to celebrate the creators and artists making their mark on today’s television landscape,” Jeffrey Sharp, executive director of the Gotham’s, said. “As the first awards show of the new television season, we are proud to bring together the industry’s most exciting new voices, celebrate breakthrough achievements and deepen our commitment to supporting the creative community.”

Among the new categories for 2025 are Outstanding Original Film, Broadcast or Streaming and Outstanding Lead or Supporting Performance in an Original Film. 

Nominees are determined for each genre by a panel of television writing professionals comprised of various outlets from TV to print to web media.
