At this point, it should be no surprise that representation is important in television, but Samba TV is highlighting how more diverse casts can benefit studios in its State of Diversity report from Samba TV.
One of the report’s key takeaways after examining viewing patterns for households of different ethnicities is that audiences are much more likely to engage with content where they see themselves represented. More specifically, the study found a positive correlation of 43% among households of diverse ethnicities watching programs with higher percentages of non-white stars.
Samba reports that Black households saw the strongest correlation, with 67% watching programs with a higher percentage of Black leads.
For Asian and Hispanic households, this correlation was lower, which Samba conjectures may be impacted by a more “sporadic” representation for these groups on screen.
Overall, this correlation was higher on streaming, where the positive correlation between diverse households watching shows with diverse leads was 53%. On linear, that number was 38%. However, linear was heavily boosted by Black households, which were extremely likely to watch cable and broadcast programming with Black leads. More than one in four of the lead actors on linear television was Black, led by series like Snowfall and BMF, which ultimately paid off by encouraging Black viewers to tune in.
Hispanic households also had a stronger positive correlation to linear television, though it was far lower than for Black households. As for Asian households, they were more likely to find their representation on streaming — led by the success of series like Beef, which Samba says over indexed among Asians.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor New voting methods will likely yield surprise Emmy nomination inclusions (and exclusions) this year. There could also be historic representation in several areas, with ethnicity, age and decades-old records shattered. HBO is no stranger to setting Emmy records. The fantasy epic “Game of Thrones” currently holds multiple records, including the most overall nominations for a drama series at 161 across its eight seasons. The network is celebrating its 50th anniversary and a new Max branding — so naturally, it wants more. If the early projections are accurate and it lands four drama series noms — “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us,” “The White Lotus” and last year’s winner, “Succession,” — HBO would tie the record for most series noms by a network in a single year, held by NBC since 1992.

McKinley Franklin editor Michael Shannon has previously revealed that he was “a little confused” when he received the offer to join “The Flash” in a reprisal of his role of of General Zod from “Man of Steel.” Now, the actor has revealed that those complicated feelings weren’t exactly resolved while making the new DC film. In a new interview with Collider, Shannon got honest about the multiverse-traversing premise of “The Flash” and his own dissatisfaction with Zod’s arc in the film. “I’m not going to lie — it wasn’t quite satisfying for me, as an actor. These multiverse movies are like somebody playing with action figures,” Shannon said. “It’s like, ‘Here’s this person. Here’s that person. And they’re fighting!’ It’s not quite the in-depth character study situation that I honestly felt ‘Man of Steel’ was.”
