The Lost was awarded Civis Media Prize in the category Entertainment with the motivation: “An extremely intense series episode with a great acting performance by the lead actor, who convincingly conveys human frailty. The film sheds light on the criminal business with refugees, on what it can do to them, but also what it can do to smugglers. The fatal course of events out of control is narrated soberly, almost as if in a reportage, thus creating enormous pull.” The prize honors people for radio and television broadcasting projects that promote peaceful coexistence within the European immigration community. SVT was last awarded a CIVIS Media Prize for Zlatan for Sweden with the times in 2019.

An extract from the jury report reads: “The investment in the characters and set-up deserves applause. This slow paced storytelling is a brave choice in days of fast editing and plot developments. Blackwater takes the long road that keeps the audience intrigued through the slow build-up of incomplete revelations.”

Blackwater was also nominated at C21 in Best Non-English-Language Drama Series, alongside The Big Fix, produced by Nexiko Drama for SVT. The Good Mothers (Disney+) won the category. Blackwater was also nominated at Series Mania in Lille, where it was awarded the Best-Series trophy in International Panorama. Suspense drama Taelgia was nominated at This Series in Aarhus.
