Last month, Apple TV held a massive press day in Santa Monica, covering nearly all of their upcoming original films and series for the rest of the year.
And now Gold Derby has confirmed the streamer’s For Your Consideration slate for the upcoming 78th Emmy Awards in September.
With last year’s Best Comedy Series winner, Apple TV’s The Studio, missing the eligibility window (which ends May 31), the streamer’s comedy slate will be led by Shrinking, currently in its third season. The Jason Segel-powered series sits in fourth in Gold Derby’s Comedy Series predictions, behind Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building, and Hacks.
