A new diversity progress report reveals that LGBTQ+ representation increased in film during 2023 but fell in series TV, as did shows with Black actors.
The survey from Luminate also reveals that projects with female directors had an average of 12% more diverse casts than male directed-projects between 2021 and 2023.
Luminate’s Entertainment Diversity Progress Report analyzed year-over-year changes in representation, both in front of and behind the screen, for 2021, 2022 and 2023.
It focused on changes amongst the following traditionally underrepresented groups: Women, Black, LGBTQ+, Latin/Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous, Middle Eastern/North African, and disabled individuals.
