Summary

This is the eighth in a series of annual reports to examine relationships between diversity and the bottom line in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Part 1, which focuses on 2020 Hollywood theatrical films, was released in February 2021. This report, Part 2, considers the latest television season since the previous Hollywood Diversity Report release — the 2019-20 season. It examines 461 scripted broadcast, cable, and digital platform television shows from the 2019-20 season in order to document the degree to which women and people of color are present in front of and behind the camera. It discusses any patterns between these findings and conventional and social media audience ratings.
