Notes
- ^ Storrie is currently ineligible for individual acting nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards due to a new rule restricting performer categories to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. Storrie and Heated Rivalry are also ineligible for many American television awards because the show is produced entirely in Canada.
