NTAs 2024 shortlist revealed – Mr Bates goes up against Baby Reindeer
The shortlist also includes nominations for The Traitors, Clarkson's Farm and more.
After fans got their votes in for the longlisted shows and individuals earlier this year, the shortlist for the National Television Awards 2024 has now been announced.
The New Drama category is certainly going to be one to watch, with two of the most buzzed about shows of the past year, Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates vs The Post Office, facing off.
They will also be going up against One Day, Fool Me Once and Red Eye, while the Returning Drama category features five contenders - Bridgerton, Call the Midwife, The Crown, Trigger Point and Vera.
This year's drama performance category is dominated by female performers, with Toby Jones being the one male nominee, getting a nod alongside Brenda Blethyn, Jessica Gunning, Michelle Keegan and Vicky McClure.
In the TV Presenter category, Ant & Dec have been shortlisted for an incredible 23rd year in a row, while the Expert category is back this year, with nominees including Sir David Attenborough and Clarkson's Farm's Kaleb Cooper.
On the soap front, EastEnders stars Angela Wynter and Diane Parish have been nominated in the same category as Coronation Street favourites David Neilson and Peter Ash, as well as Emmerdale's Eden Taylor-Draper.
There will also be an Impact Award given out on the night, as well as a Special Recognition Award.
This year’s awards will once again be hosted by Joel Dommett and will take place at The O2 London, with the ceremony being broadcast live on ITV from 8pm on Wednesday 11th September.
