Bafta TV Awards 2026: Full List of Winners Revealed

The winners of the 2026 TV Baftas have been announced at a star-studded ceremony in London, where the likes of Adolescence and The Celebrity Traitors were among the shows up for accolades. Stars of the small screen assembled at London’s Royal Festival Hall for this year’s ceremony, with Taskmaster‘s Greg Davies on presenting duties. The TV Baftas took place this evening (10 May), with an edited broadcast airing on BBC One at 7pm.

Jack Thorne’s groundbreaking Netflix series Adolescence was the frontrunner ahead of today’s big event, with an impressive 11 nominations, including nods for five of its stars. Young star Owen Cooper and Ashley Walter (who played a detective) both featured on the supporting actor shortlist, while Stephen Graham was up for best actor for his portrayal of Jamie’s dad. Christine Tremarco (who played the mother) and Erin Doherty (who played a psychologist) are both recognised in the supporting actress category.

Elsewhere, another of Graham and Doherty’s projects, the Disney+ series A Thousand Blows, earned seven nominations and in the unscripted categories, The Celebrity Traitors host Claudia Winkleman and Channel 4’s Virgin Island were among the nominees.
