Apple has become the first streaming service to secure an Emmy Award in a programme category in only its second year of eligibility.
Following Apple’s Ted Lasso breaking records as the most nominated freshman comedy in Emmy Award history, the beloved series landed four Emmy Awards yesterday.
The series earned prizes for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. Including the previously announced Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Ted Lasso took home seven Emmy Awards in 2021.
“While Ted Lasso taught us to believe that anything is possible, we are so genuinely moved that this has culminated in such a historic night for both Apple TV+ and the cast and crew of this special series,” said Apple’s head of Worldwide Video, Zack van Amburg.
“Thank you to the Television Academy for these honours and congratulations to all of our storytellers — both behind and in front of the camera — who have worked so tirelessly to bring unique perspectives to global audiences over this past year, delivering hope, light, humour, and compelling stories when we needed it most.”
