Apple TV just added two new trophies to its growing collection. Out of five nominations at the 86th Annual Peabody Awards, the streaming service walked away with two big wins this week. A total of 34 major awards were handed out to various networks and viewing platforms. Apple tied with other big names like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu, which all took home two prizes each.
Pluribus brings home a big win for the entertainment category
The Peabody Awards reward stories that talk about real social issues. For the entertainment group, Apple TV won for its original show called Pluribus.
This show is about the most miserable person on Earth who has to save the world from happiness. Viewers and critics really liked how it mixes different styles to tell a fresh and interesting story.
Apple TV has a good history at the Peabody Awards. In the past, it won for popular shows like Ted Lasso and Severance. This new win shows the platform is still making hit shows that matter to people.
Come See Me in the Good Light also grabs another win for Apple
The second win for the streaming service came in the documentary group. Apple TV won for a moving film called Come See Me in the Good Light. This movie follows two poets, Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley. It shows how they handle an incurable cancer diagnosis. Instead of just being sad, the movie is full of joy and funny moments.
The film shares real clips of them facing tough times while keeping their strong bond. It is a very uplifting movie about staying strong and finding reasons to smile when life gets hard.
These two new awards add to a growing pile of trophies for Apple. It shows the company is still focused on making shows and movies that really mean something to its viewers. With so many streaming services out there, making great original stories is a smart way for the tech giant to keep folks watching.
