The Television Academy has announced the nominees for the 2026 Emmys, and this year is the most successful in Apple TV's history: the service received a record 87 nominations across 15 projects. The studio's top hits are the new horror-comedy "Widow's Bay" (19 nominations) and the sci-fi drama "One of Many" from Vince Gilligan (18 nominations).

Apple TV Dramas

"Pluribus" starring Rhea Seehorn made the shortlist for Outstanding Drama Series, and the actress herself finally received a long-overdue nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress — fans have been waiting for this moment. The spy thriller "Slow Horses" with Gary Oldman brought the studio 9 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor for Oldman. The drama "Friends and Neighbors" also made the Outstanding Drama Series nominee list.

Apple TV Comedies

"Widow's Bay" starring Matthew Rhys became Apple's biggest breakout of the season, earning 19 nominations and securing Rhys a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy. The comedy "Margot Has Money Problems" with Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer also made the Outstanding Comedy Series shortlist. The series "Therapy" with Jason Segel and Harrison Ford continues to collect nominations in acting categories.

Overall Picture

The overall leader of the season is the medical drama "The Pitt" (HBO Max) with 25 nominations, followed by the final season of "Hacks," which set a record among comedies with 24 nominations. But it is Apple TV that showed the most impressive leap among platforms, surpassing its own past performance.

The awards ceremony will take place on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
