ITV’s flagship soap secures victory against high-profile contenders in a fan-voted showcase.
Coronation Street has emerged victorious in the annual wheretowatch.tv Awards, claiming the coveted title of Best Continuing Drama.
Voted for by thousands of television and streaming fans, the win marks a significant achievement for the long-running ITV serial drama. Unlike standard award lineups dominated strictly by traditional soaps, this year’s category placed Coronation Street head-to-head with a diverse field of heavyweights across British and international television.
A Standout Victory Against Fierce Competition
As the sole traditional soap opera in the category, Coronation Street faced formidable rivals spanning police procedurals, period pieces, and high-budget streaming thrillers.
The category featured a stellar lineup of hit shows:
BBC Critically Acclaimed Hits: Blue Lights, Casualty, and Trigger Point
Period & Countryside Dramas: All Creatures Great and Small, Bridgerton, and House of Guinness
High-Octane Thrillers & Crime: Slow Horses, The Night Manager, This City Is Ours, Cooper & Fry, and Rivals
Despite facing off against star-studded productions and streaming favourites, the cobbles proved unbeatable when put to a public vote.
Fan-Driven Success
The awards invite viewers worldwide to decide the outcome across streaming and broadcast TV.
The award highlights the enduring popularity of Weatherfield’s daily drama. Driven by gripping storylines and beloved cast members, Coronation Street continues to prove that traditional serial drama remains a powerhouse of British television.
