Emmy winners “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shogun” can now add the Peabody to their hefty awards shelves. Those three projects were among the 34 winners chosen by the Peabody Awards jury to win this year’s prizes in the fields of entertainment, documentary, news, podcast/radio, arts, children’s and youth, immersive and interactive media, and public service programming.
According to Peabody, the 34 winners were chosen out of 68 nominees — which originally camefrom a list of 1,000 entries in all categories. The final winners were chosen by a unanimous vote by 27 jurors.
Netflix won six total Peabodys, the most of any outlet, followed by HBO/Max (four), PBS (three) and FX/Hulu and Al Jazeera, both with two.
“The winners of the 85th annual Peabody Awards encompass a wide range of contemporary and historical issues, including the war in Gaza, rural healthcare, a focus on disabilities, authoritarianism, and sexual violence,” said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody. “Whether enlightening audiences on global issues or bringing a smile and sense of community through thoughtful entertainment, these works deserve to be recognized and celebrated.”
The 85th annual Peabody Awards winners will be recognized with a ceremony, hosted by Roy Wood Jr. at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on June 1. Bob Bain Prods. will produce; Variety is the media partner.
As previously announced, NBC News’ chief Washington and chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell has been tapped to receive this year’s Peabody Career Achievement Award, while long-running NBC late-night sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live” will be recognized with Peabody’s Institutional Award.
