According to a new study by CAA and Parrot Analytics, TV shows are a lot more diverse than they were three years ago — and I would hope so considering the slow changes being made by the industry during that time.

The study was reveled at MIPCOM Online+ by CAA’s Head of Data, Andre Vargas alongside Jaime Feld and Ben Dey, Co-Heads of CAA’s Television Talent department as well as representatives from Parrot Analytics.
“This study solidifies what we’ve known for some time – diversity wins onscreen,” said Kevin Huvane, Co-Chairman, CAA. “CAA will continue leading the industry in prioritizing diversity in our client work, while also encouraging storytellers and business partners to tell stories onscreen that...
