The Writers Guild's latest Inclusion And Equity Report finds that women and writers who are Black, Indigenous, and other people of color have made 'significant' hiring gains in film and television since 2010.
The Guild described the current era as a period of flux for writers whose work is covered under the WGA's union contract. The biggest reason for this: streaming, which has had a huge impact on TV, but increasingly on feature films as well.
TV was hit harder than film. From 2019 to 2020, there were 49 fewer shows released and 24% fewer jobs on shows. However, the WGA expects the number of writing jobs in both TV and film to rebound due to media companies investing billions in content for their streaming services. They expect to recoup at least half of the lost jobs in TV in in the current season.
In the TV world, streaming has meant shorter episode orders, smaller staffs, and more writers having to take on multiple jobs per year rather than being staffed on just one show, according to the Guild.
