Come November, Apple TV+ will celebrate three years but within this short period, the video and movie streaming service has been able to build up a substantial library.
For the second consecutive year, Apple TV+ has broken records with 52 Emmy Award nominations across 13 titles, including Best Drama, Best Comedy, Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special Programme, Lead Actress in a Drama, Lead Actor in a Drama Series, and Lead Actor in a Comedy. All this under three years after its global launch. In fact, Apple TV+ boosted its total number of Emmy Award nominations by more than 40 per cent year-over-year.
The second season of global hit Ted Lasso becomes the most nominated comedy series for the second year in a row with 20 nominations total, and widely celebrated freshman drama Severance makes its Emmy debut with 14 nominations, scoring the first Best Drama series nomination for Apple TV+.
Further, Apple Originals Ted Lasso, Severance, Schmigadoon!, The Morning Show, The Problem with Jon Stewart, Foundation, Pachinko, See, Lisey’s Story, Central Park, They Call Me Magic and Carpool Karaoke: The Series are recognised with nominations for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
Last year, in its second year of Emmy eligibility, Apple’s Ted Lasso broke records by becoming the most nominated freshman comedy series in Emmy history. Apple Original series, films, and documentaries have now been honoured with 246 wins and 1,115 award nominations and counting, including this year’s Oscar Best Picture winner CODA.
The winners of the 74th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be unveiled on September 12.
