Clear your calendar for Sept. 14, because it’s time for the 2025 Emmy Awards. The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards will be airing at 8 p.m. EST, and Grammy-nominated stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze is set to host. This year’s show will be airing live on both CBS and Hulu, so you’ve got plenty of ways to tune in.
With a ton of huge hit series and stars nominated, the 2025 Emmys are bound to be a show you won’t want to miss. And with this year’s stacked lineup in all of the major categories, it’s sure to be a nailbiter. Though, if classes and internships have kept you too booked and busy to keep up on the latest TV shows, fear not — there’s still time to catch up. Why not watch this year’s Emmy-nominated series ahead of time, so you’re ready for the big night? For the amateur TV and film critics among us who love to predict awards show winners, pre-screening the nominees is a must.
With so many streaming services available these days (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+, just to name a few), it’s easy to feel lost when searching for shows. To streamline your pre-Emmys binge watch sessions, here’s a complete guide on where you can watch the shows nominated for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Comedy Series, and Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series for the 2025 Emmys.
