Apple TV has earned its first Tony win, cementing the streaming giant’s EGOT status. The Broadway adaptation of Schmigadoon! captured four trophies, including Best Musical, at the 79th Tony Awards. The achievement joins Netflix in holding awards across Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony categories for the entertainment industry as a single decade.

Schmigadoon! premiered on Apple TV in 2021 and ran two seasons, ending in 2023. Creator Cinco Paul revealed a planned third season with 25 new songs, but Apple halted production. The Tony haul, including Best Book, Original Score, and Orchestrations, boosts the show’s legacy and hints at potential revival talks for fans across the globe.

Apple’s rapid climb to EGOT compares sharply with Netflix, which took twelve years from its first Emmy in 2013 to its latest Tony in 2023. Apple began its Emmy run with The Morning Show in 2020, then completed the set tonight with Schmigadoon! in just under half that time of the industry's typical pace today.

With a subscription fee of $12.99 per month, Apple TV hosts titles like Severance, The Studio, and Shrinking alongside Schmigadoon!. The Tony success may spark renewed interest in the series, offering fans a chance to see the planned third season materialized. The platform’s growing award tally signals its rise as a powerhouse in the industry.
