Apple TV+ has once again proven its worth in the streaming world with a record-breaking 79 Emmy nominations this year. While HBO Max and Netflix may have had more nominations, it’s important to note that Apple TV+ submitted from a smaller pool of 26 programs, showcasing its solid batting average.
Head of programming Matt Cherniss expressed his excitement for the recognition, highlighting the talent involved in creating the acclaimed series. Shows like “Severance” and “The Studio” led the pack with 27 and 23 nominations respectively, showcasing the dedication and hard work of everyone involved in the production.
The success of “Severance” after a three-year gap between seasons was a testament to the show’s quality and the commitment of its creators. Cherniss hinted at a possible Season 3, emphasizing the importance of delivering on every level for the viewers.
“The Studio” also shined with four out of the five comedy guest star nominations, featuring notable names like Bryan Cranston and Martin Scorsese. Cherniss credited creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for securing such high-profile cameos, adding depth and joy to the show.
In a surprising twist, Apple TV+ received Harrison Ford’s first-ever Emmy nomination for “Shrinking,” further solidifying its position in the industry. Executive producer David E. Kelley is already working on Season 2 of “Presumed Innocent,” promising a new and captivating storyline.
Looking ahead, fans can anticipate Jason Momoa’s “Chief of War” and the fourth season of “The Morning Show,” known for pushing boundaries and entertaining viewers. Cherniss teased exciting developments in both shows, promising a mix of fun and important storytelling.
As for future projects like “Pachinko” and “Dope Thief,” Cherniss remained tight-lipped but expressed his admiration for Brian Tyree Henry’s performance in the latter. With a strong lineup of shows and talented creators, Apple TV+ continues to make waves in the streaming landscape.
And let’s not forget the quirky moments, like “The Morning Show” sending a news anchor into space before it became a reality on “CBS Mornings.” Cherniss humorously compared the show’s predictive nature to that of “The Simpsons,” hinting at more surprises to come in the future.
Overall, Apple TV+ has proven its mettle with a diverse range of acclaimed shows and promising projects on the horizon. As the streaming platform continues to evolve, viewers can expect more groundbreaking content and memorable moments in the years to come.
