The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards saw Apple TV take home a record-breaking 29 wins, solidifying the streaming service as the most awarded network of the year.

Widow's Bay emerged as the standout title of the night, dominating the awards with 14 wins, including the coveted Outstanding Comedy Series.
This achievement makes Widow's Bay the most Emmy-awarded comedy series in history and the most awarded drama series in a single season. Other notable winners included Rhea Seehorn for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Pluribus and Vince Gilligan for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Pluribus. Saul Metzstein directed Slow Horses to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series.

Apple TV has claimed Outstanding Comedy Series awards for four of the past six years, building on its wins for Ted Lasso, The Studio, and now Widow's Bay.
