Heated Rivalry tops Television Critics Awards nominations and, yes, its leading men are going head to head

The hockey romance snagged five bids, as did "Industry" and "Widow's Bay." Read on for the full list of nominations.

Heated Rivalry is ineligible at the Emmys, but it's heating up the Television Critics Association Awards. The hit hockey romance topped Friday's 2026 TCA Awards nominations with five bids alongside Industry and Widow's Bay.

All three are contending for Program of the Year against The Comeback, Hacks, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, reigning champ The Pitt, and Pluribus.

Heated Rivalry, which, as a Canadian production, is not eligible at the Emmys, is also nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Drama and Outstanding New Program, while its leading men, Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, will face off for the Individual Achievement in Drama prize.

Storrie and Williams are two of 10 nominees in the gender-neutral category the largest it's been and are up against Industry stars Marisa Abela, Ken Leung, and Myha'la, The Pitt duo Noah Wyle (last year's winner) and Katherine LaNasa, Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), David Harbour (DTF St. Louis), and Rhea Seehorn (Pluribus). Industry is the fifth show to earn three Individual Achievement in Drama nominations in the same year after The Practice in 1999, The West Wing in 2000, Succession in 2023, and Severance last year. Like Heated Rivalry, the corporate drama is also nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Drama along with The Gilded Age, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Paradise, defending champ The Pitt, Pluribus, and Task.

Widow's Bay, Apple TV's spring breakout, is among the Outstanding New Program contenders. In Outstanding Achievement in Comedy, it will duke it out against Abbott Elementary, The Comeback, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, Hacks, The Lowdown, Margo's Got Money Troubles, and Shrinking.

The horror comedy has two spots in the Individual Achievement in Comedy lineup in Matthew Rhys and Kate O'Flynn. The other nominees are Hacks stars Jean Smart, a two-time winner, and Hannah Einbinder; Elle Fanning (Margo's Got Money Troubles); Harrison Ford (Shrinking); Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback); and Tim Robinson (The Chair Company). The Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials race features All Her Fault, The Beast in Me, Beef, Death by Lightning, DTF St. Louis, Half Man, Lord of the Flies, and Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.

Two new categories were added this year: Outstanding Achievement in Animation and Outstanding Achievement in International Series. Winners will be announced later this summer. The Pitt dominated last year's awards, winning all four categories in which it was nominated.
