On March 5, 2025, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, also known as the Television Academy, announced that the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards would be held on September 14.[14] CBS will broadcast the ceremony as part of a rotating deal among the "Big Four" networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC) signed in 2018.[15] Additionally, it was announced that the ceremony will be available live and on-demand via Paramount Global's streaming service Paramount+.[14] The ceremony will be produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment (Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay) for the third consecutive year.[16] On April 16, comedian Nate Bargatze was announced as the ceremony's host.[17]

Category and rule changes

[edit]

In January 8, the Television Academy announced rule changes that affected the directing and guest performer awards. Starting with the 77th gala, individuals or directing teams are permitted to submit multiple episodes for consideration in the directing categories, provided that the episodes are from different programs. In previous years, directors or directing teams could only submit one entry per category.[18] Additionally, any performer who previously won or has been nominated in the lead or supporting acting categories, said performer would be ineligible to submit a performance of the same character in the same series for consideration in the guest performance categories in subsequent years.[19]

Categories to be shown during the main broadcast were set in July 2025, with Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series scheduled to be presented at the main ceremony and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special scheduled to be presented at the Creative Arts ceremony held on September 7.[20]
