Despite a precipitous 36% decline in the number of scripted television episodes produced during the worst days of the Covid pandemic, the percentage of women and people of color who directed them reached record highs in the 2020-21 season.According to the latest DGA Inclusion Report, 38% of the episodes in the 2020-21 season were directed by women, which was up 8.6% from 35% the season before, and more than double the 16% they directed in 2014.
People of color directed 34% of the episodes, which was up 17.2% from 29% in the prior season, and more than double their 16% from 2014.Even so, the guild noted that “While the shares of episodes directed by women and directors of color continued to see incremental growth, gains were not evenly shared.
Latino and Asian directors saw minimal gains, continuing to remain underrepresented at 9% and 7% respectively.”Despite these percentage gains for women and people of color, the actual number of episodes they directed declined dramatically during the pandemic-shortened 2020-21 season because there were far fewer episodes for them to direct than in the prior year.
According to the report, there were 2,691 DGA-covered episodes in the 2020-21 season, which was down by 1,495 episodes from 4,186 episodes in the prior season.
