Battle of the Ships 2024: Results! ‘Our Flag Means Death,’ ‘My Lady Jane,’ and ‘Bridgerton,’ Have This Year’s Winning Couples

As always, it’s been so much fun celebrating our favorite TV couples with our annual Battle of the Ships!

After three rounds of voting, the results are in. Now it’s time to find out who the official winners are.

For the past few weeks, our readers have voted for the couples they most want to see get back together, the couples they’d most like to see become a reality, and of course, the Ship of the Year, or favorite TV couples, in three separate genres.

Some of the couples that made it to the final round this year included Bradford and Chen (The Rookie), Louis and Lestat (Interview with the Vampire), Elizabeth and Lucas (When Calls the Heart), Stede and Ed (Our Flag Means Death), Janine and Gregory (Abbott Elementary), Georgie and Mandy (Young Sheldon), Penelope and Colin (Bridgerton), Maya and Carina (Station 19), Casey and Brett (Chicago Fire), Guildford (My Lady Jane), Jamie and Claire (Outlander), and Rick and Michonne (The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live), among others.
