The 2026 BAFTA TV Awards are dominated by Netflix’s four-part drama “Adolescence,” which wins multiple major categories. Across the ceremony, the series takes the award for Best Limited Drama. Stephen Graham, who co-created the show, also wins Best Leading Actor, as reported by multiple outlets.
IndieWire adds that “Adolescence” makes BAFTA history by recording four TV award wins, the most at a single BAFTA TV ceremony in history, and lists additional supporting-category victories. It says Owen Cooper wins Best Supporting Actor and Christine Tremarco wins Best Supporting Actress.
The series is described as a four-part production in which episodes are filmed in a single take, and it is noted for its portrayal of violence involving disaffected teenage boys. Together, the reports characterize “Adolescence” as the standout program at the awards, with Graham’s acting win and two further supporting wins contributing to its record-breaking tally.
