Netflix drama shortlisted five times.
Left Bank Pictures’ regal drama The Crown has picked up five nominations at the Bafta Television Awards.
The Netflix show has reached the shortlist in categories including best drama series, where it will compete against ITV’s The Durrells, BBC1’s War & Peace and the second series of Happy Valley.
Clare Foy has been nominated in the leading actress category for her role as the Queen, and has been nominated alongside Jodie Comer (Thirteen), Nikki Amuka-Bird (NW) and Sarah Lancashire (Happy Valley).
The show has also received two nods in the supporting actor category and an additional place on the supporting actress shortlist.
BBC1 has become the most-nominated channel with 25 entries, ahead of BBC2 (22) and Channel 4 (16). BBC3 pipped ITV with 8 nominations against the commercial broadcaster’s 7.
BBC1’s charge was led by Happy Valley and one-off drama Damilola, Our Loved Boy, which received three nominations each.
BBC3’s breakout hit comedy Fleabag also landed three nominations, for best scripted comedy, and two in the female performance in a comedy category for creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Olivia Coleman.
In the non-scripted categories, C4’s 24 Hours In Police Custody, BBC2’s Exodus: Our Journey to Europe, C4’s Kids On The Edge and BBC4’s The Prosecutors: Real Crime And Punishment will battle it out for best factual programme.
The BBC swept the board in the single doc category with True Vision’s Behind Closed Doors, Very Much So Productions and Passion Pictures’ Hillsborough, Minnow Films’ How To Die: Simon’s Choice and Adam Curtis’ Hypernormalisation.
The Bafta TV Awards will take place at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday 14 May.
