The Canadian show \u2014 which hails from Canada\u2019s Crave streamer and airs on HBO Max in the U.S. \u2014 just picked up a <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/peabody\/\" id=\"auto-tag_peabody\" data-tag=\"peabody\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Peabody<\/a> Award, a week after it was also <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/tv\/news\/heated-rivalry-south-park-television-academy-honors-2026-1236723890\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">selected for the Television Academy Honors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe show joins Emmy winners \u201cThe Pitt,\u201d \u201cAdolescence\u201d and more as among the 34 winners chosen by the <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/peabody-awards\/\" id=\"auto-tag_peabody-awards\" data-tag=\"peabody-awards\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Peabody Awards<\/a> jury to win this year\u2019s prizes. That includes programs selected in the fields of entertainment, documentary, news, podcast\/radio, arts, children\u2019s and youth, immersive and interactive media, and public service programming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAccording to Peabody, the 34 winners were chosen out of nominees \u2014 which originally came from a list of more than 1,000 entries in all categories. The final winners were chosen by unanimous vote from 28 jurors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHBO Max won six total Peabodys, the most of any outlet, followed by Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, PBS and Al Jazeera English, which each received two. (Hulu also received two \u2014 but one through Onyx Collective and the other through FX.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThe winners of the 86th annual Peabody Awards reflect Peabody\u2019s mission to honor storytelling that has the potential to change culture, whether it\u2019s examining the destructive tactics of ICE, viewing terminal illness through a deeply personal lens, or resisting attempts to stifle free speech,\u201d said Jeffrey Jones, executive director of Peabody. \u201cWe look forward to recognizing and celebrating these winners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe 86th annual\u00a0Peabody Awards\u00a0winners will be recognized with a ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on May 31. Liz Kelly and ROK Productions will produce. Peabody noted that this year\u2019s event will be structured differently than in years past, \u201cmoving away from a traditional awards show structure and toward a more unified celebration of the winners. Honorees will be grouped around shared thematic categories, creating a narrative arc that carries through the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs previously announced, Amy Poehler will be honored with the Peabody career achievement award, Sterlin Harjo will be given the Peabody trailblazer award, James L.
