  • Our thoughts on the picks!

Okay, so we just saw the nominations for the 2026 TCA Awards, and wow, there are some familiar faces! The Television Critics Association dropped the news, and three shows are totally owning it with five nominations each.

First up, we have ‘Heated Rivalry,’ which sounds like a total vibe. Imagine a gay ice hockey romance – we’re already picturing the drama and maybe some cool, frosty visuals! Then there’s ‘Industry,’ the corporate drama. We bet it’s got that sleek, high-stakes aesthetic we love. And finally, ‘Widow’s Bay,’ a horror comedy. Yes, please! The mix of spooky and funny sounds like a recipe for something totally unique.

These three are definitely the frontrunners. But it’s not just them! We’ve got ‘Hacks,’ ‘The Pitt,’ and ‘Pluribus’ close behind with four nominations. And a bunch more, like ‘The Comeback,’ ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles,’ and ‘Shrinking,’ scored three nods.

It’s always so interesting to see what the critics are buzzing about. We’re curious to see if our faves are getting the love this year!

Our Take

Honestly, we’re pretty excited about these nominations! ‘Heated Rivalry’ sounds like it could be visually stunning, and we’re always up for a good horror-comedy. It’s always fun to see which shows capture the critics’ attention – sometimes it’s a total surprise!
