At the 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Merritt Wever won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Gretchen George in season two of Apple TV+'s Severance, marking her third Emmy win. Wever, who did not attend the ceremony, was recognized for her emotionally powerful performance as the wife of a Lumon employee, with presenter Jamie Lee Curtis accepting the award on her behalf. Other nominees in the category included Kaitlyn Dever and Catherine O'Hara from The Last of Us, Cherry Jones from The Handmaid's Tale, and Severance co-stars Jane Alexander and Gwendoline Christie. Despite being a long shot with only a 19 percent chance to win, Wever triumphed over the favorite Kaitlyn Dever, who had a 70 percent chance according to Gold Derby odds. Severance led the Emmy nominations overall with 27 nods, demonstrating its strong presence at the awards. Shawn Hatosy also won in the guest actor category for his role in HBO's The Pitt, which received 13 nominations this year.
