Apple TV has three hit series now up for prestigious new awards

Apple TV has earned plenty of awards acclaim recently, including an Oscar win for F1 The Movie. And now today, the BAFTA TV nominees have been named, with Apple dominating the series nominations thanks to three hit shows.

Apple TV dominates series nominations at 2026 BAFTA TV awards

In the US, film and TV awards season for the past year has largely ended. But elsewhere around the world, Apple TV continues to be recognized for its recent hits.

The prestigious BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) TV awards have just named its 2026 nominees.

Since BAFTA is a British organization, Apple normally wouldn’t get much of a chance to compete. Slow Horses scored several nominations this year, but most Apple shows are US-based.

However, BAFTA has an ‘International’ TV series category—and Apple TV looks poised for a big win.

There are six shows nominated for best ‘International’ series this year:

  • The Bear
  • The Diplomat
  • Pluribus
  • Severance
  • The Studio
  • The White Lotus

As you can see, half of the nominees—three out of six—are Apple shows.

The Pitt, which has often beat Apple’s Severance and Pluribus in US awards, didn’t receive an International recognition at all.

The BAFTA ceremony won’t take place until May 10, but Apple clearly has a great chance of winning the International award this year.

Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month, or you can get it discounted through the Apple One bundle.
