Shows that hired women or minority directors for fewer than 15% of episodes (some of these shows didn’t hire a single woman or minority all season). Said Barclay, “without employers making a concerted effort to bringing a more diverse mix of new entrants to the hiring pool, we won’t see meaningful and lasting change.”

The “Best Of” list included a number of series from BET and such series as Fox’s Empire and ABC’s American Crime. Shows on the DGA’s “Worst Of” list included such series as HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, FXX’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Showtime’s Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan, all of which hired no female or minority directors, according to the DGA. “With so many more episodes and work opportunities, employers should seize the opportunity for diversity with their choices, especially when it comes to first-time episodic directors.”

“The uptick in the number of episodes directed by women – modest but hopeful – is just a drop in the bucket of what needs to be done by studios, networks and showrunners before we can begin to realize equal opportunities in television for our members,” said DGA president Paris Barclay.
