Adolescence scoops four prizes in dominant night at Bafta TV awards
The Netflix drama won four prizes, including limited drama and three acting awards, as the ceremony updated winners live.
On Sunday, the 2026 BAFTA Television Awards took place at London's Royal Festival Hall, where Netflix drama Adolescence dominated the ceremony by securing four major prizes.
Co-Created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, the series earned 11 nominations after critics praised its social commentary on knife crime and newcomer Owen Cooper's breakout performance.
Graham secured the Leading Actor award, while Cooper won Supporting Actor and Christine Tremarco took Supporting Actress, completing a sweep of major acting honors for the drama's cast.
The Celebrity Traitors won Reality and Memorable Moment awards, EastEnders claimed the Soap prize, and Mary Berry received the BAFTA Fellowship, the organization's highest honor.
Comedian Greg Davies hosted the event, which followed procedural reviews by BAFTA after controversy at the Film Awards earlier this year.
