“Fleabag” Dominates TCA Awards

"Fleabag"

You know that feeling when you’re the only show to take home multiple prizes at the annual TCA Awards? Phoebe Waller-Bridge sure does. Her beloved dark comedy, “Fleabag,” was the big winner at the Television Critics Association Awards on Saturday. Variety confirmed it was “the most decorated project of the year.”

Season 2 of “Fleabag,” which explores spirituality, love, and the long-term effects of grief, snagged the awards for Program of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. Creator, writer, and star Waller-Bridge also won Individual Achievement in Comedy. “Fleabag” is adapted from her one-woman play of the same name.

The sophomore season of the BBC/Amazon Prime series bowed in the U.S. in May. It picks up a year after the events of Season 1 and sees Fleabag desperately trying to be better — laying off casual sex, resisting the urge to stir the pot, and attempting to get along with her family. Things get complicated when she unexpectedly connects with a priest.

“Fleabag” is up for 11 Emmys this year, including Comedy Series, Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and Comedy Writing.

Among the other notable TCA winners were Michelle Williams and “Russian Doll.” The former received the Individual Achievement in Drama prize for her work in “Fosse/Verdon,” FX’s limited series about the personal and professional relationships between choreographer Bob Fosse and Broadway star Gwen Verdon. Williams’ turn as Verdon also earned her a Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Emmy nod.

“Russian Doll” won the Outstanding New Program award at the TCAs. Created by star Natasha Lyonne alongside Amy Poehler and Leslye Headland, the Netflix comedy sees a woman reliving — and repeatedly dying on — her 36th birthday. It nabbed 11 Emmy nominations, including Comedy Series, Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and two Comedy Writing nods.
