This year, the biggest night in television will be hosted once again by Joel Dommett, who many will undoubtedly recognise for his presenting on The Masked Singer and In With a Shout. He'll be hosting the 2023 ceremony at The O2 London this September, for what is set to be a spectacular celebration of everything TV-related.

It's safe to say that the longlist is jam-packed full of stellar talent featuring some of the year's most talked-about dramas including SAS Rogue Heroes, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Ten Pound Poms and The Last of Us, among many others.

The likes of Call the Midwife, Endeavour and Death in Paradise are just a few of the picks in this year's longlist for Returning Drama, while actors like Ridley's Adrian Dunbar, Nolly's Helena Bonham Carter and Slow Horses' Gary Oldman are just some of the names receiving individual nods.
