At the beginning of May, we informed you of the nominations for the Peabody Awards that some of the series available on Apple TV had received, specifically the comedy Ted lasso and the children’s series Sillwater. A few days ago, Ted Lasso won the award for the category in which he was nominated, but, it has not been the only series.
Stillwater, the other series also up for a Peabody Award for Best Narrative, has also received its corresponding award, as reported by the Cupertino-based company. This series has been awarded by foster empathy with your family-oriented storytelling.
At the moment, this is the first award that this children’s series obtains, since the previous nomination that it had for the Annie awards, was not so lucky but Wolfwalkers. The Serie Stillwater is based on the Scholastic book series “Zen Shorts” by Jon J. Muth and focuses on Karl Addy and Michael, two young people who receive advice for the life of a wise panda who lives next door.
Apple states in the statement:
Through her example, her stories, and her gentle humor, Stillwater provides children with a deeper understanding of their feelings, as well as tools to help them cope with their own daily challenges.
Stillwater also brings new fun and adventure to all three, opening their eyes to the silent wonders of the world around them and guiding them to their place in it.
The Peabody Awards recognize programming that encourages empathy and broadens audience awareness to which it is addressed. So far, Apple TV + has obtained more than 350 nominations and almost 120 awards for all the content that is currently available on its streaming platform.
