The Gotham TV Award for Breakthrough Nonfiction Series is one of the annual Gotham TV Awards and was first awarded in 2021. Originally given out at the main Gotham Awards, it was announced in April 2024 that the award would be presented as part of the 1st Gotham TV Awards, effectively reintroducing it as one of the Gotham TV Awards after the category had not been presented at the previous main Gotham Awards ceremony.
