The 6th Astra TV Awards took place on August 15, 2026, in Los Angeles, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, and HBO Max’s medical drama The Pitt entered the night as the most-nominated show on the slate.
The Pitt collected 12 nominations in total, including Best Drama Series and a Best Actor nod for star Noah Wyle. The show also picked up multiple Best Supporting Actor and Actress nominations, recognizing a deep ensemble cast across its first season.
Close behind, Hacks and Shrinking tied for second place with 10 nominations apiece, while Abbott Elementary, Beef and Rooster rounded out the top tier with nine nominations each. The spread of nominations across comedy, drama and limited series categories reflects a genuinely competitive year for scripted television.
Winners are typically announced live at the ceremony, with television and streaming coverage details confirmed closer to air. Given the strength of the field this year, several categories are considered close calls heading into the night.
