However, researchers see signs that could predict a retreat in the industry\u2019s gender and racial diversity initiatives, particularly on big-budget shows and writing positions. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThe next few years may be a true test of whether Hollywood is truly committed to the changes they promised during the nation\u2019s reckoning on race following the murder of George Floyd,\u201d Ana-Christina Ram\u00f3n, co-author of the report, said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The study found that shows like Netflix\u2019s <em>Bridgerton, <\/em>CBS\u2019 <em>F.B.I.<\/em> and TNT\u2019s <em>Snowpiercer, <\/em>all of which feature diverse casts, continued to draw large, non-white audiences. And it doesn\u2019t stop there. Social media engagement was highest among digital series that included more people of color, like Netflix\u2019s <em>The Chair, <\/em>Disney+\u2019s <em>Loki <\/em>and <em>The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,<\/em> and Hulu\u2019s <em>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>, to name a few. Social buzz also peaked for broadcast <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ed shows with casts that were from 31 to 40 percent minority. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Despite consumer interest in shows that feature majority-minority casts, actors of color were still underrepresented in lead roles on broadcast TV (27.4 percent) but nearly proportionally represented \u2014 relative to the U.S. population overall \u2014 in cable (39.6 percent) and digital (37.6 percent) <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    While companies are providing funds for high-concept shows, the report revealed that those opportunities weren\u2019t equal for women and people of color, even though there were more minority and women show creators across all platforms than there were in the previous season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cWe saw an uptick in opportunity for people of color and women having their shows greenlit, which should be a marker of progress,\u201d Ram\u00f3n said. \u201cHowever, when we examined the episodic budgets of all the TV series, we see a strong pattern indicating that shows created by people of color and women tended to receive smaller budgets than those created by white men, particularly in the digital arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The study found that nearly one in two shows in which white men were credited as creators had budgets of more than $3 million per episode, whereas women and people of color had budgets less than that. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It also tracks the gender and race of people who have key jobs in broadcast, cable and digital. This year\u2019s figures were improvements from last year\u2019s, but they still fell short of proportionate representation for their respective groups. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cDiversity initiatives traditionally are the first to be sacrificed when there are economic downturns,\u201d co-author Darnell Hunt said. \u201cWe\u2019re already seeing it start with cutbacks at Warner and HBO. But rolling back efforts before equity has been truly achieved for women and people of color would be a major miscalculation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    He continued, \u201cAny cost-savings studios realize now will come at the expense of alienating increasingly diverse viewers who expect increased representation in their TV shows and do not make good business sense in the long term.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
