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 action and thriller on television. At the 50th Anniversary Saturn Awards, the category was split to recognize both network/cable series and streaming series however, the categories were merged again at the subsequent 51st Saturn Awards.
