“After the debut of Apple TV+ just last month, today’s nominations are a true testament to the powerful storytelling that went into ‘The Morning Show,’ as well as all of our Apple Originals.”
Kerry Ehrin, executive producer and showrunner on The Morning Show, added that she was “incredibly proud that the show was nominated, and it’s so rewarding to see the hard work and talent of Reese and Jen recognized. Mimi, Michael and I could not be more delighted and grateful to the HFPA for this honor, and to Apple for their support.”
