Apple has received 54 Emmy Award nominations across 13 Apple TV Plus shows, including Ted Lasso.

Ted Lasso, the Jason Sudeikis comedy, received 21 comedy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy, making the show the most nominated comedy for the third consecutive year. The show's third season recently came to a close, but there are hints that a fourth season could be on the horizon.

The 54 nominations are Apple's highest Emmy nomination haul yet, making Apple TV Plus the third most Emmy-nominated network in just over three years since its launch.

The other Apple Originals to land major category nominations are STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie for Outstanding Documentary, The Problem With Jon Stewart for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special, and Carpool Karaoke: The Series for Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series.

Zack Van Amburg, Apple's head of Worldwide Video said, “These brilliantly original stories have made us laugh, given us a greater sense of empathy, and a fresh understanding of our world through many different genres of storytelling,”

“We are in awe of the unique talents of the casts and crews that have brought these fantastic programs to audiences across the globe, and we thank the Television Academy for these honors.”

With so many award nominated shows and movies on Apple TV Plus, there's no better time to try out the service. Luckily for PlayStation owners, you can get six months free with ease.
