"Severance" may have received the most nominations for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, but it walked away with only eight wins.

Apple TV+'s sci-fi show about a world with literal separation of work and personal lives led Emmy nominations with an impressive 27 nods, and was in the running for best drama series alongside Apple TV+'s "Slow Horses," Disney+'s "Andor," Netflix's "The Diplomat," HBO's "The Last of Us," and "The White Lotus," Hulu's "Paradise," HBO Max's "The Pitt."

Created by Ben Stiller, "Severance" follows Mark Scout (Adam Scott) as he leads a team at Lumon Industries whose employees have undergone a severance procedure that surgically divides their memories between their work and personal lives.

Here's how "Severance" fared at the Emmys.
