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 found that the audience demand for diverse U.S. scripted debuts has more than doubled since 2017. To add to that, diverse debuts overtook non-diverse debuts in 2019 for the first time.
