The final season of the acclaimed series 'The Crown' leads the pack with eight nominations for the 2024 BAFTA TV and TV Craft awards. The show, which concluded its six-season run last year, received nods in various categories, including performances by Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville, and Salim Daw.

Following closely behind is the Netflix production 'Black Mirror' episode 'Demon 79,' which secured seven nominations, including for limited drama and leading actress Anjana Vasan. BBC dramas 'Happy Valley' and 'The Sixth Commandment,' along with Apple TV+'s 'Slow Horses,' each garnered six nominations.
The list of nominees features a mix of established and new talent, with actors like Sarah Lancashire and Jack Lowden receiving recognition for their performances. Notably, this year's nominations include 17 first-time BAFTA TV nominees, showcasing the diversity and depth of talent in the industry.
BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip emphasized the importance of celebrating the exceptional content produced in 2023, acknowledging the challenges faced by the industry. Over 100 programs from various broadcasters and streamers were recognized for their creativity and impact.
The BAFTA TV Craft awards are scheduled for April 28, followed by the BAFTA TV awards on May 12. The nominations span across different genres, from comedy entertainment to factual series, reflecting the breadth of content that captivated audiences in 2023.
With a diverse range of nominees and exceptional talent vying for top honors, the 2024 BAFTA TV and TV Craft awards promise to be a celebration of the best in television production.
