Study Reveals Most Inclusive Episodic TV Programming; Greg Berlanti, Ava DuVernay Top Producers List


Ava DuVernay's 'Queen Sugar' and 'Raising Dion' were among the most inclusive series named in The Inclusion Report for episodic television.

1 position for its seventh and final season received an inclusion score 12.8 (rating a of 4 out of 5 for its cast and an 8.8 out of 10 for its crew). The Ava DuVernay-created series exclusively employed women directors during its run, with 39 out of the 42 hired for their first TV directing credit. However, it’s also notable that many of these series were canceled after short runs — “Gentefied” and “With Love,” ran for just 2 seasons, while “Naomi,” “First Kill,” “Queens” and “The Garcias” were each canceled after 1 season — indicating that, despite the best efforts of creatives to make inclusive programming, it still proves challenging to keep them on the air.
