The Television Academy has announced the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations, and Apple TV received a record 87 nominations across major categories. Multiple outlets report that the totals represent Apple’s highest Emmy nomination count to date, with the slate led by two series: “Widow’s Bay,” which earns 19 nominations, and “Pluribus,” which follows with 18. Reports also note that Apple’s nomination surge occurs even though earlier major hits such as “Severance” and “The Studio” are not eligible for this awards cycle. While some shows dominate the nomination counts, sources describe a broader spread across Apple TV titles, including “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” “Slow Horses,” and “Shrinking,” each earning multiple acting, writing, and/or production nominations depending on category. Coverage further indicates that Apple’s nominated work includes candidates in both series and performance categories, and that Apple also receives nominations in technical and creative areas such as music, sound, and picture editing. Winners are scheduled to be announced live on September 14 on NBC.
