HBO drama Succession, the story of a cutthroat fight for control of a family’s media empire, led the nominees for television’s Emmy awards on Wednesday with 27 nods for the show’s final season.

The two-time best drama winner Succession will vie for the trophy again alongside fellow HBO show The Last of Us, a dystopian video-game adaptation that landed a second-best 24 Emmy nominations. Others competing for best drama included HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, vacation-gone-wrong story The White Lotus and Star Wars series Andor.” Previous nominees Better Call Saul, Yellowjackets and The Crown are also in the mix.
