The 61st Grimme Awards celebrate excellence in German television, with all fiction prizes going to series for the first time.

The Grimme-Preis 2025 has honored 16 productions, with the awards ceremony scheduled for April 4 in Marl, Germany.
For the first time, all fiction awards were given exclusively to series, including RTL's 'Angemessen Angry,' which won both a fiction award and the audience prize.
Investigative journalists Isabell Beer and Isabel Ströh received the award for 'Special Journalistic Achievement' for their work on digital sexual violence in NDR/funk's STRG_F documentaries.
Peter Kloeppel and Ulrike von der Groeben, longtime RTL news anchors, were recognized with a special honor for their decades of journalistic service.
The dominance of series reflects a growing trend in German television, highlighting the medium's ability to tackle complex societal issues such as migration, right-wing extremism, and sexual violence.
