Apple scores seven wins at Critics Choice Awards

Apple TV had a very strong 2025 by any metric. Its subscriber base grew larger than ever, and TV shows and movies were hits with critics and viewers alike.

The latest evidence of the company’s strong year among critics was this weekend’s Critics Choice Awards.

Previously Apple TV has won on a very limited basis, typically with only one series or movie taking home awards. This year, the streamer had four big winners: three TV shows and a film.

Here’s everything that won, spanning seven awards total:

“The Studio”

  • Best Comedy Series
  • Best Actor in a Comedy Series — Seth Rogen
  • Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series — Ike Barinholtz

“Pluribus”

  • Best Actress in a Drama Series — Rhea Seehorn

“Severance”

  • Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series — Tramell Tillman

“F1” 

  • Best Editing — Stephen Mirrione 
  • Best Sound — Al Nelson, Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, Gary A. Rizzo, Juan Peralta, Gareth John

You can watch The Studio, Pluribus, Severance, and F1 on Apple TV with an active subscription.

These seven awards not only set a new record for Apple, but they also continue a trend of strong awards performance that started at the recent Emmy awards.

If you’re looking for something new to watch, the first premieres hitting Apple TV in 2026 roll out this week. Here’s an overview of everything coming in January.
