At the 33rd Annual TV Week Logie Awards in 1991, an industry voted award for drama returned, originally called Most Outstanding Single Drama or Miniseries.[6] It has also been known as Most Outstanding Series (1992–1993, 1998),[6] Most Outstanding Achievement in Drama Production (1994–1997)[7] and Most Outstanding Drama Series, Miniseries or Telemovie (2007–2012).[8] It has been known as the Most Outstanding Drama Series since 2013.[9]
