Apple TV continues to make a strong impression during awards season. The streaming platform just secured fifteen nominations for the upcoming 2026 BAFTA Television Awards. This shows that their focus on original programming is still paying off nicely. While Apple TV might not release as many shows as some of its bigger rivals, the critics are clearly paying attention to the quality of the series it does put out.
The top shows leading the pack
British hit Slow Horses naturally led the charge this year, picking up several major nods, including a spot in the best drama series category. The dark spy comedy has been a consistent favorite for the British Academy. Other major nominations came from their flagship international dramas and a few standout documentary specials. The acting categories also saw plenty of love for the leading stars who front these popular Apple originals.
