Severance fans fume over 'major snub' despite staggering number of Emmy nominations

Severance has been named this year's most-nominated series at the Emmys and the Apple TV+ series is in the running to win categories such as Outstanding Drama Series.

The network has earned a record-breaking 81 Emmy Award nominations across 14 hit Apple Original titles with the head of Worldwide Video saying Severance "exceeded expectations".

Zack Van Amburg said: "Severance and The Studio have exceeded our wildest expectations in earning the most nominations for both drama and comedy series, alongside the phenomenal Shrinking and Slow Horses.

"These shows have connected deeply with audiences around the world and we're incredibly appreciative to the Television Academy for recognizing the breadth of storytelling that has been an honor for us to champion."

However, fans were not impressed that one Severance star did not get nominated for an award.

The series landed nominations including Outstanding Drama, Outstanding Lead Actor Adam Scott and Lead Actress Britt Lower, Outstanding Directing for Ben Stiller and Jessica Lee Gagné, Outstanding Writing for Dan Erickson, alongside recognition for Outstanding performances by Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, John Turturro, Patricia Arquette, Jane Alexander, Gwendoline Christie and Merritt Wever, as well as nods across several craft categories.

Yet Dichen Lachman, who plays wellness counsellor Ms Casey in the show, missed out with fans fuming over the "snub".

They took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their thoughts, with Kard saying: "27 nominations for severance?!!?!!! That is INCRED but NONE for Dichen Lachman????"

MariiaG added: "Happy that Severance is getting Emmy noms but Dichen Lachman got absolutely snubbed."

Gissane Sophia affirmed: "And once more, with feeling, Dichen Lachman deserves SO MUCH MORE."

@miathermopollis commented: "One last thing Dichen being the only actor not nominated from Severance is soooo..."

The post was accompanied by a GIF of a woman smashing up their living room in frustration.

Len concluded: "Imagine handing Severance 27 nominations but snubbing the highlight of this season aka Dichen Lachman."

The star is yet to say anything about the nomination list, with the Emmys due to take place in Los Angeles on September 14.
