Ions: Best Prod (TV)
Posted By:

This week is the first of the technical categories in the Ion Sci-Fi Screen Awards. 

Best Production (TV) recognises the achievements of the production team behind a TV series including producers, directors, writers, designers and everyone else that makes sci-fi possible on television. 

That’s a lot of people, so the production team is represented in the nominations by the series showrunner. 

And the nominations are: 

  • Foundation (showrunners David S. Goyer, Josh Friedman, Apple TV+) 
  • Katla (showrunner Sigurjón Kjartansson, Netflix)
  • For All Mankind S2 (showrunner Ronald D Moore, Apple TV+)
  • The Expanse S5 (showrunner Naren Shankar, Amazon Prime) 
  • Star Trek: Discovery S4 (showrunner Michelle Paradise, Paramount+)

To be eligible, an episode from a TV series (including miniseries or made-for-TV feature) must have screened to Australian audiences in 2021. TV categories include free-to-air, pay TV, subscription and other online services.

Nominations are made by the awards expert panel which includes Ion Sci-Fi editorial staff and regular contributors to the show. A different category is presented for audience voting each week, with the results combined equally with the experts’ vote to determine the winner.

A special edition of Ion Sci-Fi will announce the winners at the end of the current series.

The Ion Sci-Fi Awards are presented in partnership with the Sydney Science Fiction Film Festival.
