“Abbott Elementary,” “Atlanta,” “Better Call Saul,” “Mo,” “Andor” and “Severance” were among the 35 winners of the 83rd Annual Peabody Awards announced this morning, representing the “most compelling and empowering stories” released in broadcasting, streaming and interactive media during 2022. They were chosen by a unanimous vote of 32 jurors from more than 1,400 entries, with PBS producing the most triumphs with six, followed by Apple TV+ and Disney+ (three apiece) and HBO Max (two).

It’s the second Peabody wins for “Atlanta” and “Saul,” which received trophies for their first seasons and now for their final ones as well.

“Representing a wide range of mediums, genres and narrative approaches, this year’s winners continue to advance what it means to craft storytelling that is compelling, powerful and prescient,” Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody, said. “Whether capturing the lives of teachers in Philadelphia or young women in Afghanistan, these stories are powerful enough to make us laugh, cry and learn. They are all deserving of this honor, and we are thrilled to shine a light on their amazing achievement. All citizens should seek out, watch and engage these winners.”

The Peabody winners will be celebrated on June 11 in a ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in L.A. hosted by Jessica Williams.
