The television landscape is constantly changing. A few years ago, Netflix<\/a> was taking all the Emmys and positioning itself as the big new thing, one that brought with it nothing but quality productions. Yesterday, at the ceremony, it took home only 3 awards\u2026 and that’s 3 more than other streaming services like Disney+<\/a> or Amazon Prime Video, which went home exactly as they arrived. What nobody could have predicted was who would win this year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Biting the apple<\/h2>\n\n

The clear winner, with 9 awards at the main ceremony (and 28 in total), was Apple TV<\/a>,<\/strong> thanks especially to The Curse of Widow\u2019s Bay<\/em>, which took home 6 Emmys. Considering that last year it came in second with 7 wins (third in the overall count) and in 2024 barely won 2 awards, finishing behind FX, Netflix and HBO<\/a>, it’s clear that this has been its year to shoot upward like a rocket.<\/p>\n\n

This time, HBO Max<\/a>, even with the smash hit of The Pitt<\/em> and DTF St. Louis<\/em>, finished in second place with 5 wins, and Netflix with 3. Quite a bit worse than either had expected. Meanwhile, only Peacock<\/a> and CBS can go home proud with one award each: the rest, no matter their success or their number of subscribers, have come up empty-handed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

It’s curious, though, because Apple TV<\/a> has more than 45 million subscribers (though exact figures aren’t available), but it’s still light-years behind its competitors<\/strong>. Success with critics, a shrug from viewers: Will this change as it keeps winning more and more awards with its shows?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
