Apple TV+ Gears Up for a Strong Emmy Season
With an impressive lineup featuring notable dramas such as Severance and Bad Sisters, alongside comedies like Shrinking and The Studio, Apple TV+ is preparing to make a significant impact this Emmy season. Known for its breakout series Ted Lasso, which helped boost its profile since its launch in 2019, the streaming service is set to enhance its position among competitors.
To support their Emmy campaign, Apple TV+ will establish the “Think Apple TV+” Emmy FYC House at the iconic Hollywood Athletic Club, running from April 24 to May 21. The event offers Emmy voters a unique experience through a series of screenings, panels, and exhibitions. Stars like Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, and Kathryn Hahn will be featured prominently throughout the house.
Visitors will have the chance to engage with immersive exhibits related to their favorite shows. For example, fans can admire costumes from Severance and interactive displays featuring Shrinking. Additionally, renowned cartoonist Liza Donnelly will be live-drawing characters from Apple TV+, all created with the Apple Pencil Pro.
In partnership with The Hollywood Reporter, a special #ShotoniPhone16Pro Photo Studio will capture portraits and videos of the filmmakers and stars gracing the FYC House this month.
