Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Celebrates the 129 Primetime & Daytime Emmy Nominations for “Made in NY” Productions

NEW YORK, NY - The NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) celebrates the 131 total 2025 Emmy Award Nominations received for “Made in NY” productions, including 103 for Primetime and 26 for Daytime shows. The nominations were led by The Penguin with 24, which according to the MPA generated $135 million in economic activity for NYC during its first season of filming, and 24 for programming around the 50th anniversary of NYC’s iconic variety series, SNL. A “Made in NY” production is classified when 75% or more of the filming took place in NYC.

“We are so thrilled to celebrate the 129 Emmy nominations received for ‘Made in NY’ productions, including SNL’s 50th anniversary shows, NYC’s newest mega-hit The Penguin, and 26 for the hosts and crews of our talented Daytime shows,” said Commissioner of the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Pat Swinney Kaufman. “On the heels of the return of the ‘Made in NY”’ Awards ceremony to Gracie Mansion last month, these nominations help drive home that the film & TV industry in NYC is alive and well, supported by our expanding infrastructure, strong local workforce, the state’s film tax credit, and our administration’s City of Yes attitude towards filming.”

In addition to the recent return of the “Made in NY” awards ceremony, Mayor Adams, MOME and other members of the administration have collaborated on many new initiatives to support the city's entertainment industry and open doors for New Yorkers to jobs in these sectors; supporting NYS’ expanded tax credit that brings more film and television productions to the five boroughs, preparing over 4,000 New Yorkers for careers in the creative industry through the city’s "Made in NY" workforce training and education programs; breaking ground on new production campuses in Manhattan and Queens; creating the first-ever Film and Television Production Industry Council, continuing the NYC Public School Film Festival, and introducing Executive Order 21, requiring each city agency to have a film office liaison and expedite filming on NYC property, helping to keep NYC on screens for audiences around the world and thus encouraging tourism and cementing NYC's role as a global production hub.
