The Apple TV+ Emmys story in 2025 is about more than just wins. With 22 trophies, the platform has shifted from underdog to industry contender, proving it can compete with Netflix, HBO, and other long-established rivals.
Apple TV+ Emmys night dominated by The Studio

The standout, meanwhile, was The Studio, a comedy from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. In fact, the show collected 13 awards, making it the most successful freshman comedy in Emmy history. As a result, its debut season set a benchmark that few streaming comedies have reached.
Severance strengthens Apple’s drama slate
The other star of the night was Severance, which had already built a reputation as one of the most original dramas on television. At the 77th Primetime Emmys, it delivered major acting wins for Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman.
Critics and fans alike have praised Severance for its mix of satire and sci-fi. Its success adds weight to Apple’s drama slate and proves the show isn’t just a critical darling, it’s a continuing force at awards season.
Apple TV+ Emmys sweep signals new ambitions
With 22 awards in total, Apple TV+ achieved its biggest Emmys haul since launch. The scale of recognition sends a clear signal: the service is no longer chasing prestige, it owns it.
From high-concept dramas like Severance to comedic hits like The Studio, Apple TV+ now has the track record to back even riskier projects. As a result, in the aftermath of the 2025 Emmys, the streamer looks less like a newcomer and more like a heavyweight in television’s top tier.
