UCLA Study Finds Decline in Women's Diversity on Streaming TV

A UCLA study shows a significant decline in cultural diversity in popular streaming series in 2024, with underrepresentation of people of color and women both in front of and behind the camera, reversing progress made after 2020. The decline is linked to the abandonment of diversity initiatives following political shifts, despite evidence that diverse stories remain popular among viewers. The future of diversity in Hollywood is uncertain amid ongoing industry mergers and political challenges.
