Apple TV+’s Emmy sweep cements Severance and The Studio as streaming heavyweights
As you've no doubt seen from our previous coverage, Apple TV+ has emerged from the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards with a clear message: it’s no longer just playing catch-up with streaming rivals. The platform claimed 22 trophies, its best haul since launch, putting it squarely in the conversation with awards-season mainstays.
The historic moment belonged to The Studio, the Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg comedy that took home 13 Emmys, a record for a first-season comedy. But it wasn’t the only Apple title making noise.
Severance, already a critical darling, added key acting wins for Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman, reinforcing its reputation as one of television’s most inventive dramas. For readers wanting a deeper dive into the series’ eerie blend of satire and sci-fi, Darryl’s season 1 review, season 2 review, and behind-the-scenes look at season 3 explore why it resonates so strongly with both critics and audiences.
Meanwhile, Slow Horses added to Apple’s night with a directing win, rounding out a diverse set of victories that spanned comedy, drama, and craft categories.
The fallout is simple: Apple TV+ now has the track record to chase even bolder projects. From high-concept dramas like Severance to breakout comedies like The Studio, the service is signalling that prestige television is now part of its identity, not just a goal.
