What TV Show is Most Likely to Win?

Shōgun has dominated the upcoming Critics’ Choice Awards 2025, as it has received nominations in six categories, including Best Drama Series, making it the most nominated TV show of the year.

The acclaimed historical drama is tipped to win the accolade in January 2025, adding to the list of awards the TV show has picked up recently, such as 14 Creative Art Emmys in 2024 alone.

Slow Horses has finally received the recognition it deserves at the Critics Choice Awards after being snubbed in the category since the show’s first series.

The British spy thriller is, however, loved by fans and critics alike, earning a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Offering a gripping plot, well-rounded characters, and a phenomenal cast, it is a strong contender to claim the award this year, but it faces stiff competition from Shōgun in the category.

Of course, there is every possibility that the award could be handed to another British spy thriller, The Day of the Jackal, which stars Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch.

The hit show, based on a novel of the same name, has received many glowing reviews, and its recent release could mean it is fresh in TV critics’ minds during voting.

The Diplomat could be second time lucky in 2025, as it received a nomination in the Best Drama Series category in 2024 but lost out to Succession’s final season.

The American political thriller has earned many glowing reviews from top TV critics, especially for Keri Russell, the show’s lead.

However, as many have argued it struggles to rival the likes of The West Wing for quality, it might not have done enough to secure Best Drama Series at the 2025 ceremony.

EVIL might not be a frontrunner to win, but it could surprise the audience by accepting the accolade in January.

It isn’t the first time the American supernatural drama has earned a nomination, as it received a nod in the category in 2022 but missed out to Succession.

However, the show has earned much acclaim from TV critics for its writing, direction, well-written characters, cinematography, and performances, which is why it shouldn’t be ruled out for the award.

If you believe Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire will win Best Drama Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2025, you could win $900 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
