Psychological thriller “Severance” on Apple TV+ nabbed a leading 27 nominations on Tuesday for television’s Emmy Awards.
In “Severance,” Mark Scout (Adam Scott) leads a team at Lumon Industries, whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives. This daring experiment in “work-life balance” is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work … and of himself.
In season two, Mark and his friends learn the dire consequences of trifling with the severance barrier, leading them further down a path of woe.

“Severance” was nominated for the top prize of best drama alongside “Andor,” “The Pitt,” “The White Lotus” and others.
Comedy nominees included “The Bear,” “Hacks” and “Abbott Elementary.”
“The Penguin,” a crime drama starring Colin Farrell, earned 24 nominations. Hollywood satire “The Studio” and “The White Lotus,” about vacationers at a luxury resort, received 23 each.
Winners of the Emmys, the highest honors in television, will be announced at a red-carpet ceremony broadcast live on CBS on Sept. 14.
