Apple TV achieved unprecedented results at the 31st Critics' Choice Awards. Three series and one film from the streaming service were honored, garnering a total of seven awards. This makes Apple TV one of the most successful platforms at this year's ceremony and confirms its growing influence in the television and film industries.
The year 2025 was exceptional for Apple TV in many ways. Subscriber numbers reached a new all-time high, while series and films were highly sought after by both critics and audiences. In previous award ceremonies, Apple TV had typically only achieved sporadic success, often with a single series or film. This year's Critics' Choice Awards, therefore, mark a clear turning point.
These awards are considered an important indicator of quality, as they are given by film and television critics. Consequently, they are highly significant for assessing a streaming service's standing in international comparison.
Seven Critics' Choice Awards
At the 31st Critics' Choice Awards, presented last weekend, Apple TV won a total of seven awards, marking the streaming service's best result ever at the event. Three series and one film were honored, winning in multiple major categories.

Classifying success
The seven awards represent a new record for Apple. At the same time, they continue the positive trend that began with the recent Emmy Awards. Apple TV is increasingly being perceived as a platform that produces not only popular but also award-winning content.
In parallel, the 2026 programming year is already starting. This week sees the first premieres, which will appear on Apple TV in January and further expand the offering.
Apple TV is positioning itself as a quality provider in the streaming market
With its success at the Critics' Choice Awards, Apple TV underscores its ambition to be among the leading streaming services in the long term. For €9.99 per month, the service offers a constantly growing selection of series and films, including well-known titles such as Ted Lasso, Severance, and Pluribus. Alternatively, Apple TV is also included in the Apple One bundle. The current pricing clearly demonstrates that Apple TV is not only focusing on reach but increasingly on quality, which is also recognized by critics. (Image: Apple)
