In what has been a bumper year for TV, Line of Duty dominates the shortlist with four nominations. As well as it's Best Drama Series nomination, Vicky McClure is up for Best Actress while both Stephen Graham and Adrian Dunbar are in the running for Best Actor.
Bridgerton isn't far behind with three nominations, including Best Actor and Best Actress nods for Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor.
After scoring triple success last year with Best Soap Actor, Best Soap Actress and Best Soap, will Coronation Street reign supreme once again or will the likes of EastEnders and Emmerdale be able to knock them off the top spot? Only the viewers can decide who’ll be celebrating in September.
It's also been announced that comedian Rob Beckett will host this year's awards.
