2、periods:Calendar Year 2021,Calendar Year 2022 and Calendar Year 2023.Both series and movies were assigned to a given year based on when they first premiered(i.e.,if a season premiered in November 2022 and ran through March 2023,it would be attributed to 2022).For films,the first U.S.release date det

3、ermined the year to which it was assigned(i.e.,if it was released on a limited basis in theaters in December 2022 and then released wide in January 2023,it would be attributed to 2022).The analysis only includes scripted,live-action projects originating from the United States,UK and Canada.Note:This

6、odic content and main title cast members plus directors for films.All classification of talent is based on what each individual has publicly shared or identified as.This includes ethnic identity as well as gender,various LGBTQ+identities and identifying as having a disability.As such,there are some

7、actors who remain uncategorized within the dataset and were excluded from this analysis.Nonbinary gender classification is inclusive of gender nonconforming,two-spirit,genderfluid and genderqueer.Actors with intersectional identities are included in the counts for each diverse group that they identi

8、fy as.For example,a 2+ethnicity actor who identifies as Black and Latin/Hispanic would be included in the counts for both groups.Further,if that actor identified as LGBTQ+,they would also be included in that count.Disability classification is categorized into three areas,which include:1)physical dis

9、abilities(visible and non-visible),2)d/Deaf(encompassing hearing loss and hard of hearing)and 3)neurodiversity(including autism spectrum disorder,generalized anxiety disorder,ADHD and others).Only projects that include English as an Original Language are included(e.g.,there can be more than just Eng

10、lish noted as an Original Language,but English must be included),which is a change in methodology from last years report.MethodologyAB OUTLuminate is the preeminent entertainment data and insights company,unleashing access to the most essential,objective,and trustworthy information across music,film

11、,television,gaming,short-form video and more.Luminates databases house information compiled from over 500 verified sources,managing more than 20 trillion data points.Diminished content spend,which started in earnest in 2022,and the dual strikes that occurred in 2023 led to declines in production.The

12、 impact of these events is evident as TV/Digital series projects declined notably(19%year-over-year).However,the aftershocks of both events will likely carry into 2024,as work stoppages on film production are felt more acutely.As a result of fewer overall series,many of the underrepresented groups a

13、nalyzed in this report saw declines in their representation in TV/Digital series in 2023.Conversely,representation in film for most cohorts was up(or at least even)with 2022.Due to the delayed impact of the dual strikes in 2023,representation in film might take a hit next year as we expect fewer fil

14、ms to be released in 2024.When women were empowered as film directors,projects had an average of 12%more diverse casts than male directors from 2021-2023.In TV,female show creators averaged 9%more diverse casts than men in the same time period.The benefits are supported by a 2019 McKinsey report tha

15、t found that companies with greater gender diversity on executive teams were 25%more likely to have above-average profitability.The largest disparity between the U.S.demographic composition and their representation in film and TV/Digital series is among the Latin/Hispanic population.People who ident

16、ify as Latin/Hispanic make up about 19%of the U.S.population,yet their representation in key roles(both in front of and behind the camera)lags considerably.There were more Indigenous series creators than Latin/Hispanic creators in 2023,yet their representation in key roles(both in front of and behin

17、d the camera)is 8%and 7%respectively.This is inclusive of people who identify as both Indigenous and Latin/Hispanic.Superhero projects lean into diversity but face increased cancellations on screen and dwindling audiences in theaters.The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences faced backlash in

18、2015 from the#OscarsSoWhite movement and vowed to improve the diversity among its membership and by extension the diversity of Oscar nominations;based on the data,things have improved but theres still work to be done.Diversity appeals to audiences and the proof is in the viewership numbers.Top shows

19、 on broadcast,cable and digital/streaming outlets boast diverse casts.The following report presents the data behind the trends to objectively show where Hollywood stands regarding representation.As studios,networks,streamers and production companies continue to make promises surrounding the need for

20、 more diversity on screen and behind the camera,our goal is for this progress report to be used as a reference point to see where and how improvements have been and still need to be made.Executive SummaryGender RepresentationPA RT 1On-screen roles for women shrank in 2023 across both Film and TV/Dig

27、istently shown that women in leadership positions tend to hire more diverse teams compared to their male counterparts,leading to numerous positive impacts on organizational performance and culture.A 2019 McKinsey report found that companies with greater gender diversity on executive teams were 25%mo

71、 Latin/Hispanic talent(series regulars and/or creators)was off a bit more(-22%).Additionally,scripted TV and streaming projects that have found a path to series are often met with a higher likelihood of cancellation.In fact,series with high concentrations of Latin/Hispanic series regulars(i.e.,40%or
