Why It’s Important: AppleTV+ just reported a record-breaking 52 Emmy Award nominations, its most in company history. The nominations were led by hit show “Ted Lasso” with 20 nominations and freshman show “Severance” with 14 nominations.
Apple saw a total of 13 of its shows receive at least one nomination.
With "Ted Lasso" potentially coming to an end, Apple might need to find its next big hit.
In the highly competitive streaming sector, landing an exclusive docuseries can make a big deal.
Presidents and their families remain one of the top subject matters for books and shows.
The Clintons and the Obamas have each landed major deals with streaming companies like Netflix Inc NFLX, iHeartMedia IHRT and Spotify Technology SPOT in the past.
Apple could use the new docuseries to leverage new subscribers to the platform and land more exclusive content.
The technology giant has been aggressively pursuing sports rights deals to add live sports to its streaming platform.
