Netflix revealed the details of a two-year diversity study of the company s shows and staff.
The on-camera gender gap has closed, but many groups are still underrepresented on and off screen.
Netflix is investing $100 million over the next five years to bring in underrepresented communities.
Netflix on Friday released the results of a two-year study that examined the diversity of the company s original shows and films.
The study looked at on-screen representation across gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQ, and people with disabilities, and also included roles behind the camera, such as directors, writers, and producers in 125 movies and 180 series Netflix released in the US during 2018 and 2019.
Netflix received broadly high marks for diversity and inclusion in its movies and TV shows when it came to gender and people of color, compared to the broader entertainment industry, according to an extensive new report.
But the streaming giant fell short in its representation of certain groups, including Latinos, the LGBTQ community and people with disabilities.
The USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which regularly takes Hollywood studios to task for their shortcomings on diversity, on Friday published a detailed report studying representation on and off camera for 126 U.S. Netflix movies and 180 scripted shows in 2018 and 2019. The report, led by USC professor Stacy L. Smith, compared Netflix’s numbers to figures from the broader industry as well as the U.S. population.
