Apple TV+ has achieved a major milestone in the UK television industry. The platform earned 15 nominations across the prestigious Bafta Television and Television Craft Awards. This recognition spans nine of its original series, marking a strong year for the streaming service.
Notably, this achievement builds on Apple’s growing presence at Bafta events. After gaining attention at the film awards, the company has now strengthened its standing in television categories as well.
Leading Shows Drive the Momentum
Several standout shows helped secure the nominations. “Slow Horses” leads with four nominations, while “Severance” follows with three.
These series continue to attract critical acclaim. For instance, “Slow Horses” earned recognition in writing, editing, sound, and makeup. Meanwhile, “Severance” received nominations for direction and technical excellence.
Other nominated titles include “Pluribus,” “The Studio,” and “Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age.” In addition, documentaries and factual programs such as “Vietnam: The War that Changed America” also gained attention.
Strong Presence in International Categories
Apple TV+ has shown particular strength in international awards. In fact, half of the nominees in the International category come from Apple’s lineup.
This achievement highlights the global appeal of its content. Moreover, it reflects Apple’s strategy to produce high-quality shows that resonate with audiences worldwide.
At the same time, individual performances have also been recognized. Actors like Taron Egerton and Fehinti Balogun received nominations, further boosting the platform’s profile.
A Growing Trend of Success
Apple’s nomination count has steadily increased over recent years. The platform earned 13 nominations in both 2024 and 2025. This year’s total of 15 shows clear progress.
Consequently, Apple TV+ continues to compete with established streaming giants. Its focus on premium storytelling and strong production values appears to be paying off.
What Comes Next
The Bafta Television Craft Awards will take place on April 26, 2026. Shortly after, the main Television Awards ceremony will follow on May 10.
These events will determine whether Apple converts nominations into wins. However, regardless of the outcome, the nominations already signal a major achievement.
