More Women Appeared On Reality & Game Shows In 2022-23 Than As Series Characters, Report Says
17.10.2023 - 15:31 / deadline.com
One step forward, more steps back for women on the small screen: the latest Boxed In report from San Diego State University’s Dr. Martha Lauzen says that more females showed up as contestants on reality programs and game shows than on series during the 2022-23 season.
Women made up 50 percent of the contestants but only 43 percent of characters on comedy and drama series. The study released today tracked over 3,500 characters and more than 4,500 behind-the-scenes credits on both the broadcast networks and streamers.
When it came to inclusivity, the percentage of Black female characters declined from 27 percent in 2021-22 to to 23 percent in 2022-23. The percentage of Latinas remained steady at a (mere) 7 percent.
Regardless of the platform, the report says, female characters experienced a “steep decline” in numbers as they age from their 30s to their 40s. On the broadcast nets, the percentage of major female characters dropped from 47 percent in their 30s to 14 percent in their 40s. The drop was from 38 percent to 17 percent on the streamers.
Another little factoid that should surprise no one: women 60 and over continue to be “dramatically underrepresented.” Those women made up just 3% of major female characters on broadcast and 4% on streaming.
“The percentage of female characters hasn’t changed substantially on broadcast TV in over a decade,” said Lauzen, the executive director of the Center for the Study of Women in TV and Film at SDSU. “In 2007-08, females comprised 43 percent of all characters. In 2022-23, females accounted for 44 percent of all characters. The story is much the same for streamers. Females accounted for 44 percent of characters in 2016-17 and 45 percent in 2022-23.”
