Asked:

“Penny Dreadful first award won”

Seven corroborating source rows — all single-sourced extracts scanned on 2026-11-11 from news sites, archives and encyclopedia mirrors — agree that the Showtime series’ earliest documented award win is the Broadcast Television Journalists Association’s Critics’ Choice Television Award for Most Exciting New Series, a noncompetitive honor announced June 9, 2014, ahead of the June 19, 2014 ceremony.

The honor was announced on June 9, 2014 — ten days before the ceremony — naming Penny Dreadful among several Most Exciting New Series honorees. deadline.com

The fourth annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards ceremony followed on June 19, 2014, where the BTJA presented the winners. thefutoncritic.com

Most Exciting New Series is noncompetitive: the BTJA honored a slate of new shows rather than picking one winner. en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org

Several rows are archives or mirrors of the same reporting — a Wayback copy of the Deadline story and a next-day BroadwayWorld reprint of the BTJA release. web.archive.org
