It's shaping up to be a very good awards season for the streamer with the apple logo. Apple TV+ has earned a remarkable 15 nominations heading into the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards, cementing its status as one of the most creatively ambitious platforms in the game right now.
For a streaming service that only launched in 2019, racking up this kind of recognition from the British Academy is no small feat. The nominations signal that Apple's bet on prestige, character-driven storytelling is paying off in a big way — and that critics and industry voters are paying close attention.
While the full breakdown of which specific series claimed the most nominations is still being parsed by fans, the haul points to Apple TV+'s growing roster of acclaimed originals. Shows like Severance, The Morning Show, Slow Horses, and Shrinking have all built passionate audiences and serious awards buzz in recent cycles, making any of them likely contenders in this year's lineup.
For viewers, this is the perfect reminder to catch up on anything you might have let slide on the platform. BAFTA recognition tends to send streaming numbers climbing, so expect Apple TV+ to lean hard into the nominations buzz with curated collections and spotlight moments across the app.
The 2026 BAFTA Television Awards ceremony is one of the UK's most prestigious nights in telly, and with 15 chances to take home a trophy, Apple TV+ will absolutely be a name called from the stage.
