For the first time in the network\u2019s history, FX<\/strong> will have more directors who are women and people of color than white men. FX\u2019s diversity outreach has finally started to shift the balance behind the camera, as the line-up of FX directors of 2021 is set to be majority diverse.<\/p>\n

During a keynote session at the\u00a0Edinburgh International TV Festival, FX Networks chairman John Landgraf<\/strong> revealed that women and people of color will make up 63% of directors for FX shows in 2021, marking the first time in the network\u2019s history that white male directors will not be in the majority.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline, Landgraf revealed this stat while promoting the cable network\u2019s diversity strategy, which FX has been actively working on since a 2015 Variety article by\u00a0Maureen Ryan about the lack of diversity among TV directors showed that, at the time, a whopping 85% of FX\u2019s directors were white men.<\/p>\n

Landgraf admitted that he was \u201cashamed\u201d by this number and that his initial reaction to Ryan\u2019s article was \u201cdefensiveness.\u201d But he added those figures were an \u201cindictment\u201d of the entire industry and that the \u201cwhole thing was rotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Landgraf\u2019s credit, it seems that the article roused him and his team at FX to improve the network\u2019s diversity behind the camera, including offering pay for reshoots and other financial backstops for new directors. FX already has a pretty diverse slate of shows like\u00a0Atlanta, Better Things, Mrs. America, Pose<\/em>, and\u00a0Snowfall<\/em>, and the network just had to balance out the diversity behind the scenes. By doing this, Landgraf said that the network began looking beyond other directors who had worked on premium dramas and comedies, with them instead turning their attention to theater directors, procedural directors, and more. \u201cIt turns out they were hiding in plain sight,\u201d Landgraf said at the festival. Also worth noting is how he said \u201cthe quality of work we got from this new crop of directors was actually superior\u201d to what they had before.<\/p>\n

The line-up of the directors is the first step, with FX soon set to turn their eye on the diversity of everyone else below the line, including\u00a0directors of photography and casting, as well as Landgraf\u2019s own executive team. The FX chief revealed he is planning to hire an SVP of diversity and culture, who he referred to as \u201can ombudsman.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe genuinely want our productions to look like the population of the United States,\u201d Landgraf said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t solved the problem but we\u2019ve begun the process to solve the problem. It\u2019s time for this industry to change.\u201d<\/p>\n

FX\u2019s efforts come in the wake of the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement shaking up Hollywood practices, with studios and media<\/a> companies making moves to strengthen the diversity of their hires across the board. It\u2019s still early in the process, and more diversity doesn\u2019t solve every problem in the industry, but it\u2019s a start.<\/p>\n
