The Television Critics Association (TCA) announced today the nominees for the organization’s 42nd Annual TCA Awards, honoring standout series and stars from the 2025-2026 television season. While the TCA Awards in recent years have seen one program clearly rise above the pack to lead in nominations, 2026 has three series firmly placed at the top with five nominations each to their credit. These include Crave/HBO Max’s ice hockey romance Heated Rivalry, HBO Max’s corporate drama Industry, and Apple TV’s genre-bending Widow’s Bay, which will face off against each other in the coveted Program of the Year category.
