Overview

  • None of Sheridan’s six eligible series—Yellowstone, 1923, Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, Tulsa King and Lioness—received major-category Emmy nods in the July 2025 announcement.
  • Tulsa King and Lioness picked up stunt nominations and 1923 earned awards for production design and costumes, leaving the other four series empty-handed.
  • Landman, Paramount+’s highest-rated freshman drama of 2025, was renewed for Season 2 despite its lack of acting, writing or directing nods.
  • Industry observers cite Paramount+’s newcomer status, a perceived coastal-heartland cultural divide and Sheridan’s minimal Emmy campaigning as contributing factors.
  • Sheridan’s residence on a Texas ranch and reluctance to engage in traditional Emmy politicking underscore his outsider posture within awards culture.
