National Television Awards 2022 shortlist revealed, including Peaky Blinders and Heartstopper

Bridgerton star Charithra Chandran (Edwina Sharma) is also nominated for the Rising Star award, with Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton) nominated for Drama Performance and the series itself up for Returning Drama.

Peaky Blinders is also nominated for Returning Drama, with Cillian Murphy also up for Drama Performance for his turn as Tommy Shelby.

In rather sad news, it will be the last time Neighbours is up for the Serial Drama award.

The winners will be announced during the awards ceremony in September hosted by Joel Dommett, with the final round of voting taking place now. You can cast your own vote via the National Television Awards website.
