Apple TV continued its triumphant awards season on Monday night, with the offbeat comedy-horror Widow’s Bay reaching a total of 14 Emmy wins for the year. Pluribus and Slow Horses also scored wins this week, adding to Emmy successes for other Apple TV properties such as Mr. Scorsese, Palm Royale, and Margo’s Got Money Troubles earlier in the month.

The Emmys are split into multiple ceremonies. The first section of the 2026 awards, Creative Arts, took place on September 5-6. Widow’s Bay was the most successful show across the two nights with eight wins (from 12 nominations) and added six more (from seven nominations) during the major Primetime awards this week, again making it the most successful entrant. Here are the show’s 14 wins:

Creative Arts awards

  • Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Betty Gilpin as Sarah Westcott Warren)
  • Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program
  • Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Cinematography for a Series
  • Outstanding Music Composition for a Series
  • Outstanding Music Supervision
  • Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series and Animation
  • Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series and Animation

Primetime (or major) awards

  • Outstanding Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Matthew Rhys as Tom Loftis)
  • Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Stephen Root as Wyck Crawford)
  • Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Kate O’Flynn as Patricia Moyer)
  • Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series
  • Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series

Everybody else was left in the dirt by Widow’s Bay‘s 14 wins. Its closest rivals were (the superb) DTF St. Louis, The Traitors, and the Super Bowl halftime show, which each scored seven; but none of these managed more than a single major award. Unlike Apple’s show, which collected six of these most prestigious wins.

Those 14 wins also beat any previous Apple TV entrant; The Studio previously held Cupertino’s record with 13 in 2025. And with a total of 29 Emmy wins altogether (if you include the company’s Outstanding Commercial award, which isn’t credited to its streaming arm), Apple as a whole had its most successful year to date, surpassing the 22 it managed last year thanks to the success of The Studio and Severance. Before then, the company never managed more than 10 wins in a single year.

It was also the first Emmy night for new CEO John Ternus, who proudly showed off his iPhone Duo on the red carpet.
