According to Chairman John Landgraf, the writers of FX’s 2019-2020 season are 25 percent white women, 20 percent women of color, and 16 percent men of color, while the directors are 28 percent white women, 16 percent women of color, and 17 percent men of color. He presented these numbers at the TCA’s executive session, Deadline confirms.

While white men still dominate as writers and directors, Landgraf’s presentation shows that FX’s 2016 promise to improve its diversity and inclusion was not made in vain.

Landgraf committed to presenting a report card of FX’s progress at every TCA conference. While he acknowledges that change is incremental, Landgraf is adamant that the inclusion of women and people of color should be a priority for everyone. “You have to care about it,” he said. “You have to value the idea; you have to care about who you’re hiring.”

The exec pointed out that FX seeks “the best programming” from underrepresented communities and actively mentors women and POC from the staff level upward.

Ryan Murphy, who has created several FX projects, surely helped move the numbers at the network with his Half initiative. At least 50 percent of the directors hired on Murphy’s shows are women, POC, and/or LGBTQ individuals.

“Pose,” “Atlanta,” and “Better Things” are currently among the inclusive offerings on FX’s slate. The network’s upcoming projects include a Phyllis Schlafly miniseries starring Cate Blanchett, an adaptation of Akwaeke Emezi’s “Freshwater,” and the third season of Murphy’s “American Crime Story.” The latter, produced by Monica Lewinsky, will center on the impeachment of Bill Clinton and star “Booksmart’s” Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky.
