Severance leads this year's list of Emmy nominations.

The psychological thriller series — which is executive-produced and primarily directed by Ben Stiller — has received 27 nominations for its second season, including a nod in the Outstanding Drama Series category.

Severance is competing with Andor, The Diplomat, The Last of Us, Paradise, The Pitt, Slow Horses, and The White Lotus for the coveted accolade.

Severance star Adam Scott is among the nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. However, he'll face competition from Sterling K Brown, Gary Oldman, Pedro Pascal and Noah Wyle.

Britt Lower, Adam's Severance co-star, is up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. The 39-year-old star is competing alongside Kathy Bates, Sharon Horgan, Bella Ramsey and Keri Russell.

Elsewhere, The Penguin — a spin-off from the 2022 film The Batman — has received 24 nominations in total, including a nod in the Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series category.

The HBO show — which stars Colin Farrell as the titular character — is competing with Adolescence, Black Mirror, Dying for Sex, and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story for the award.

Colin, 49, is among the nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, while co-star Cristin Milioti is in contention for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

The Penguin's Deirdre O'Connell is competing with Erin Doherty, Ruth Negga, Chloe Sevigny, Jenny Slate and Christine Tremarco for the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie award.

Meanwhile, The White Lotus — the HBO comedy-drama series — has been nominated for 23 awards, and The Studio — the Seth Rogen-created comedy series that premiered in March — is up for 23 gongs.

This year's Emmy Awards ceremony will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept 14, with comedian Nate Bargatze hosting the event.
