Saturn Award for Best Horror Television Series
annual award given by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films
The Saturn Award for Best Horror Television Series is one of the annual awards given by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. The Saturn Awards, which are the oldest film and series-specialized awards to reward science fiction, fantasy, and horror achievements, included the category for the first time at the 42nd Saturn Awards ceremony, when the Saturn Award went through major changes in their television categories. It specifically rewards horror on television.
The Walking Dead was the only series to win from the award's introduction in 2016 until 2024, when The Last of Us won. The award received a sister category for streaming series in the horror and thriller genres in 2019 and 2021, awarded to Stranger Things in both years.

Why this record matters
The phrase “annual award given by the American Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22961692. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2024, 2019 and 2021.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
