Abbott Elementary continues its hot streak by leading the 2022 Television Critics Association Awards nominations with five nods, for Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, Program of the Year, and nods for stars Janelle James and Quinta Brunson.
Better Call Saul follows close behind with four nominations for its final season, including those for leads Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn. Buzzy hits Severance (from Apple TV+) and Yellowjackets (Showtime) also received four noms, with nods to respective stars Adam Scott and Melanie Lynskey.
Despite its recent struggles, Netflix made a strong showing with 13 nominations; Squid Game and Maid receiving multiple noms each. Still, the streamer couldn’t compete with the combined power of HBO and HBO Max, which together garnered 21 total nominations: Hacks, Barry, Succession, The White Lotus, and Station Eleven are just a few of the programs recognized from the Warner Bros. Discovery stable.
