2025 Children’s and Family Emmys nominations: Full list includes ‘One Piece,’ ‘Heartstopper,’ ‘Percy Jackson’
The 2025 Children’s and Family Emmy Awards announced its nominations on Thursday. This is the third year since these categories were separated from the Daytime Emmys in an extensive restructuring of the television academies’ TV awards. Winners will be presented in Los Angeles on March 15. Scroll down for the complete list of contenders.
Rachel Schwartz, head of the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, said in a statement, “This year’s nominations are particularly meaningful as much of the work being honored was delayed due to last year’s strikes. It is a privilege to have been named head of a competition that is not only honoring exceptional talent but is also shaping the way children and their families interact with the world. Congratulations to all.”
