The Television Critics Association today announced their nominations for the 2026 TCA Awards. Heated Rivalry, Industry, and Widow’s Bay led all contenders with five nominations each. It’s particularly great news for Widow’s Bay, which has recently seen a massive uptick on social media for the freshman dark comedy. Whether or not that translates to Emmy nominations remains to be seen, but the timing is great considering voting for the 2026 Emmy Awards began yesterday.
Heated Rivalry, while beloved by many, will not feature into the 2026 Emmy Awards as it is ineligible.
Here are the full nominations for the 2026 TCA Awards. The awards will be handed out in August.
