The Pitt Leads TCA Winners

The Television Critics Association (TCA) has announced the 2025 winners for the 41st annual TCA Awards, which include The Pitt, Adolescence, The Studio, Doctor Who, The Traitors and Sesame Street.

HBO’s new medical procedural The Pitt was at the forefront of the 2025 TCA Awards, taking home four wins with program of the year, outstanding achievement in drama, outstanding new program and Noah Wyle’s individual achievement in drama, his first TCA Award.

“It is an honor to be nominated, especially in that company, and it is incredibly gratifying to win,” said Wyle in his acceptance. “I’ve known a lot of you for a long time. You’ve written some lovely things about me through the years and about my shows, especially this one.”

“Each of these TCA Award winners not only entertained us, but also immersed us in the lives of characters, both fictional and real life. We’re thrilled to honor them,” said TCA president Andy Dehnart. “TCA exists to support our members’ work and celebrate TV’s role in our culture, and with these awards and accompanying videos, we’re doing both.”

Peacock’s The Traitors won its second consecutive outstanding achievement in reality award.

Apple TV+’s The Studio produced a win for outstanding achievement in comedy with its inaugural season.

Netflix’s Adolescence nabbed the award for outstanding achievement in movies, miniseries or specials

HBO’s two-part Paul Reuben profile Pee-wee as Himself claimed the outstanding achievement in news and information award.

NBC’s SNL50: The Anniversary Special took home outstanding achievement in variety, talk or sketch award.

Disney+’s Doctor Who got its second-straight outstanding achievement in family programming award.

Sesame Street received its fourth outstanding achievement in children’s programming prize, along with the heritage award.

“Your recognition means the world to me, and I’m grateful to all of the TCA members for this incredible honor,” said Kathy Bates, winner of the career achievement award. “Your support and dedication to the television industry are invaluable, and I am truly humbled by your acknowledgment.”

Somebody Somewhere star Bridget Everett, winner of the individual achievement in comedy award for her role as Sam Miller, said: “I am beyond grateful to be honored for this show, which has meant so much to me. And I’m especially grateful to have the opportunity to thank you, the critics, who saw what we were trying to do from the very beginning.”

“It really means a lot, especially coming from the critics, because when you start something new and different and you’re trying to change a genre, in a way, it’s really heartening that the critics get that and notice and receive it in the way that it was intended and support it,” said The Traitors host and executive producer Alan Cumming.

TCA’s 235 professional television journalists, critics and editors throughout the United States and Canada cast their votes for exceptional programming offerings from the 2024-2025 television season in 14 distinct categories.
