The comedy series recently picked up a major prize at the BAFTA awards, cementing its spot as the most decorated show of the entire year. With this latest win, it has officially become the first freshman comedy to ever sweep all the major award shows in a single season.
The victory brings another big milestone for Apple as the platform continues to build a strong library of original hits.
The show secures a historic sweep across all major ceremonies
The series stars Seth Rogen as the head of a struggling movie company. It connects deeply with audiences and critics alike, pulling in praise from all sides. At the recent BAFTA awards, the show took home the prize for the International category.
This specific win makes it the first comedy in history to sweep all the major awards in one season. Before this, the series also grabbed thirteen Emmy awards, including Outstanding Comedy and a Lead Actor win for Rogen. It picked up top honors at the Golden Globes and the Critics’ Choice Awards to complete the historic run.
This steady stream of trophies is great news for Apple TV. The streaming service has built a reputation for high-quality shows, and this recent sweep proves its approach works.
