Apple TV shows swept the board at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards last night as the streaming service received 29 wins overall to become the most awarded network of the year.
It was Apple TV’s best-ever Emmy Awards haul, thanks to the likes of Widow’s Bay, Pluribus, Slow Horses, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Palm Royale, and Mr. Scorsese.
Widow’s Bay was the most awarded show of the night, sweeping all major categories with 14 wins in total, including Outstanding Comedy Series. It becomes the most Emmy-awarded comedy series of all time. The show also took the most awards for a comedy series in a single season.
Elsewhere, Pluribus won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Rhea Seehorn and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Vince Gilligan, while drama Slow Horses won Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Saul Metzstein.
Apple TV has now reached most Emmy-awarded network status faster than any other streaming service over seven Emmy seasons. It’s also now home to the most Emmy-awarded series for the second year in a row, following last year’s wins for The Studio. Apple TV has won Outstanding Comedy Series awards for four of the last six years, thanks to Ted Lasso, The Studio, and now Widow’s Bay.
