During her appearance on Wednesday's episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, Fahy said she was "100 percent" surprised that she was nominated for her work on the show. "When I tell you that there was not even one conversation about it across the board with anybody on my team," she told host Seth Meyers. "My team was like, 'Oh my God!'" Despite being pleasantly surprised by the nomination, Fahy didn't have time to immediately celebrate. "I was on set, actually, and so we were filming something and so [my team] called and I was like, 'This is weird that they're calling.' And I answered, and they started screaming. And they were like, 'And action!' And I was like, 'Bye!' And I just hung the phone up."

The nod for Sirens marks Fahy's second Emmy nomination after she was previously up for a supporting actress Emmy for her role in season two of The White Lotus. Fahy's nod this year is the only acting nod for Sirens, though the show is also up for best contemporary costumes, best directing and best picture editing for a limited or anthology series or movie at the 2025 ceremony. In addition to talking about her nomination, Fahy also opened up about working with Julianne Moore in Sirens. In the Netflix series, Fahy stars as Devon DeWitt, who travels to a coastal beach town to save her sister, Simone (Milly Alcock), after she seemingly joins a cult led by Michaela Kell (Moore). "Day one, I had to sort of look [Moore] straight in the eye and call her a bitch. And I was like, 'Um, okay. Throwing me in the deep end.' I like your style," Fahy recalled. She went on to compliment Moore and jokingly said, "Honestly, if she was a cult leader in real life, I would be in that cult." "I think I would be, too," Meyers agreed. "I know usually when you watch those shows, you're supposed to be like, 'I don't trust this cult leader.' And I'm kind of like, 'I might be down with most of this.'" Meyers continued the joke by adding, "I feel like Meghann's the bad guy. I don't know why she's trying to bust up this cult. Her sister definitely has a better life now."
