Film Independent has announced the list of TV nominees for the 2023 Spirit Awards. Leading the nominations were Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Severance and Station Eleven, all of which received three nominations each.

“As the television landscape continues to evolve, and independent artists expand the idea of how stories can be told, we’re proud to be changing with them,” said Josh Welsh, president of Film Independent. “With our new categories and gender-neutral acting awards, we hope to better reflect the diversity of incredible work being created by these talented artists.”

This year, just like the film nominees, the acting categories will be gender-neutral, with the best actor and actress categories replaced with Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series award having 10 nominees. Additionally, Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series award has been added to honor performances outside of the leading roles.

The 38th annual awards ceremony will be held on the beach in Santa Monica on Sunday, March 4.
