On Thursday, the Board of Jurors of the Peabody Awards announced the 27 nominees for the organization’s 84th annual honors in the categories of Arts, Entertainment, Children’s/Youth and Interactive & Immersive.

More than 1,100 entries from TV shows to podcasts were in the running; this year, FX’s Emmy-winning The Bear was among those singled out as “the most compelling and empowering stories” released in 2023. 

Other shows that were singled out in the Entertainment category included FX’s Reservation Dogs; HBO’s dramedy Somebody Somewhere and its hit video game adaptation The Last of Us; Netflix’s Lupin, Blue Eyed Samurai and The Fall of the House of Usher; and Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty.

In the Children’s/Youth category, Bluey on Disney+ was singled out, as was Disney Channel’s animated Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, executive produced by and starring the voice of Laurence Fishburne.
