Apple TV+ scores 52 Primetime Emmy nominations, led by Severance and Ted Lasso

Apple TV+ today received 52 nominations for its content at the 2022 Primetime Emmy Awards. The recognition was led by hit comedy Ted Lasso and this year’s breakout sci-fi workplace drama Severance.

Ted Lasso was nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series again, following its awards sweep last year. Severance saw top-line recognition for Best Drama Series, Adam Scott as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, ad both John Turturro and Christopher Walken got Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series nominations.

The 52 total is a substantial increase over the 34 nominations Apple got last year, representing the continued expansion of Apple’s library of original TV shows. We’ll find out how many nominations convert into wins on 12 September, when the 2022 Emmy Awards ceremony is held.

This year, the company will be particularly pleased with the reception for Severance, which now gives Apple a solid entrant in the prestigious drama categories, after already cracking comedy thanks to Ted Lasso.

Its original drama awards magnate The Morning Show has not managed to attain the Best Drama Series accolade to date, although it continues to accrue acting nominations.
