According to Variety, Apple TV's investment in premium content is paying off at the Emmy Awards. The platform earned eighty-seven nominations across just fifteen programs—a result made more impressive by the fact that Apple submitted only thirty-one titles for consideration, far fewer than its streaming competitors. It's a vindication of Apple's stated strategy: prioritize quality over quantity. The network is also looking ahead to returns of shows including Widow's Bay, Pluribus, and Severance.
