The streaming platform Apple TV just pulled off a massive achievement in the entertainment world. It officially claimed studio EGOT status after the stage adaptation of Schmigadoon won big at the 2026 Tony Awards. Reaching this milestone means the service now holds an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. The parent company, Apple, reached this rare prize in just under seven years, which is about half the time it took Netflix to do the same thing.
Stage adaptation wins four Tony awards to claim the final prize
The musical went into the ceremony with 12 nominations and walked away with four wins. The production grabbed Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Orchestrations. This marks a sweet victory for creator Cinco Paul, especially since the television version was canceled after only two seasons. The stage version took the original concept and turned it into a massive theater hit instead.
With these theater wins, the platform finishes a journey that started back in 2020. The brand won its first Emmy for The Morning Show, followed by a historic Oscar win for CODA in 2022. Earlier this year, a track from the F1 movie soundtrack brought in a Grammy award to check off the third box.
Completing the sweep in under seven years shows just how quickly the streaming platform became a serious player in Hollywood. It went from being the new kid on the block to grabbing the highest honors in television, film, music, and theater. This sets a new speed record for streaming services and proves that backing high-quality original projects pays off in the long run.
