Apple TV's drama series The Savant, starring Jessica Chastain, was pulled from its schedule last year following the assassination of activist Charlie Kirk, with no official explanation given. Variety now reports Apple has rescheduled the show for a spring 2027 debut, over a year after its original planned premiere.
Apple TV became the most-awarded network at the Emmys with 29 wins, edging out HBO's 21, marking the first time Apple TV finished atop the platform rankings. HBO programming chief Casey Bloys called Apple a formidable competitor but admitted it's unsettling to compete against a trillion-dollar company.
Apple TV's 'Widow's Bay' dominated the 2026 Emmys, winning 14 awards in a single season, a new record for a comedy series, including best comedy series and best actor for Matthew Rhys, who took home three trophies overall. Meanwhile, HBO Max's 'The Pitt' repeated as best drama series with Noah Wyle again winning best actor, though the show fell short of expectations elsewhere, and Jean Smart made history with her fifth consecutive comedy actress win for 'Hacks'.
Apple TV took eight Primetime Emmy awards last night, six for Widow's Bay and two for Pluribus, adding to 20 Creative Arts Emmys earlier for a 2026 total of 28. HBO trailed with five Primetime Emmys (16 Creative Arts) led by The Pitt and Hacks, while Netflix earned three Primetime wins plus 13 Creative Arts Emmys, including a historic double lead-acting win for Matthew Rhys.
Apple TV added 9 wins at the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, following 20 wins at last week's Creative Arts ceremony, for a company-record 29 Emmys overall. Widow's Bay led the haul with 14 awards in its debut season, including Outstanding Comedy Series, topping The Studio's 13 wins from last year. Other winners included Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan for Pluribus and Saul Metzstein for Slow Horses.
John Ternus, who took over as Apple CEO two weeks ago, appeared at the Emmy Awards and was seen showing off Apple's unreleased foldable iPhone Duo to press and attendees. The device, pulled from his tuxedo jacket pocket, is set to launch next month starting at $1999.
The 2026 Emmy Awards will take place on Monday, September 14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, honoring the year's best in television. Details on how audiences can watch the ceremony live have been outlined ahead of the event.
Mutant has issued a vinyl edition of David Fleming's Emmy-winning score for the show 'Widow's Bay,' packaging the music with detailed extras for collectors. The release aims to capture both the playful and unsettling tone that defines the series.
At the Creative Arts Emmys held ahead of the main ceremony, 'Widow's Bay' claimed eight awards for its first season, while 'The Pitt' collected four trophies in its second year. Rob Reiner, who died earlier this year, was awarded best guest actor in a comedy series for his appearance on 'The Bear.'
Apple TV won 20 Creative Arts Emmy awards this weekend ahead of the September 14th Primetime ceremony, putting it in third place behind HBO Max's 16 and Netflix's 13. Comedy Widows Bay accounted for 8 of Apple's wins, including Outstanding Guest Actress for Betty Gilpin, with Pluribus, Margo's Got Money Troubles, Palm Royale and Mr Scorsese also contributing wins.
