BAFTA TV Craft Awards: ‘Baby Reindeer,’ ‘Slow Horses’ and ‘Rivals’ Among Winners

“Baby Reindeer,” “Rivals” and “Slow Horses” have won two honors each at the 2025 BAFTA TV Craft Awards.

The ceremony, held on Sunday night in London, saw “Baby Reindeer” creator Richard Gadd win best drama writer and Weronika Tofilska win the best director in fiction for her work on the hit Netflix show, already a multiple Emmy and Golden Globe winner. Meanwhile, Apple TV+ spy series “Slow Horses” won for editing: fiction and sound: fiction, and Disney+ comedy drama “Rivals” for makeup and hair design and production design.

Other winners on the night included “Shōgun” (photography & lighting: fiction), “Bad Sisters” (original music: fiction), “Supacell” (scripted casting), “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” (special visual and graphic effects) and “”Sweetpea” (titles and graphic idenity). “Life and Death in Gaza” won for editing: factual.

The BAFTA Special Award was presented to BBC soap “EastEnders,” honouring the show’s long-term commitment to identifying, investing in and nurturing new talent through a variety of trainee schemes.

With the BAFTA TV Craft Awards celebrating the U.K.’s behind-the-camera TV talent, the winners of performance categories — plus many others — will be announced at the BAFTA TV Awards in two week. The ceremony is being held on on May 11 at London’s Royal Festival Hall, with Alan Cumming as the host.

“Baby Reindeers” led the pack of nominees going into both the BAFTA TV and TV Craft awards with eight nominations, following by “Rivals,” “Slow Horses” and “Mr Bates vs the Post Office” with six each.
