It supposedly took decades, but Hollywood finally got the message that diversity and representation on screen and beyond are good practice and good business. Is it though?
Carter Covington, who’s been a TV writer for 17 years and co-created several shows including “Faking It,” which originally aired on MTV, worries the industry contraction will make it harder to sell shows about marginalized communities.
With fewer shows getting sold, producers are more focused on landing guaranteed hits and awards show fodder, Covington and others said.
“When people want hits they become more risk averse, which means that the market for original ideas is much tougher,” said Covington, who is gay and has championed shows depicting the queer community. “What I keep hearing is that it’s a harder sell right now.”
