As noted by Deadline, nominations are out for the inaugural Children’s & Family Emmys, which will be handed out over two nights next month. And Apple has nabbed 17 nominations.

The Children’s & Family Emmy winners will be announced Saturday and Sunday, December 10-11, at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the new stand-alone awards show in November 2021 after a couple of years of tweaks to how the children’s categories were presented. 

The move, which marks the first expansion of the list of Emmy Award shows since the Sports and News & Documentary Emmys were launched in 1979, comes as NATAS has seen a surge in submissions in the children’s genre, notes Deadline. In fact, Children’s & Family content represents the fastest-growing genre that NATAS awards, with a 23% increase in related programming the past two years.
