Of the eight series that competed for 2024's Outstanding Drama Series trophy, only one — Slow Horses — is back in contention this year.

Translation: The 2025 race will be populated by a largely new slate of contenders. But don't mistake "new" for "anyone's game." Two shows have already pulled ahead of the pack — Apple TV+'s Severance, fresh off a near-flawless sophomore run, and HBO Max's breakout medical drama The Pitt. Both are without question the ones to beat come Sept. 14.
