FX President: 'Nearly 60% of our screenwriters are not white males' miss 'Breaking Bad' but let more American TV shows of color take shape - Lujuba

Time Network News FX network television station has produced "Pose", "American Horror Story" and "Better Things" and other American dramas. The chairman of the TV station John Landgraf recently stated that nearly 60% of the screenwriters on the station are not white men.

From 2014 to 2015, only about 12% of FX's directors were women or people of color. It was the TV station with the least racial/gender diversity that year. This survey result made Landgraf "very embarrassed and felt that there was a problem with his leadership." Since then, FX has begun to pay attention to its own diversity. Now more than half of the directors of new dramas are women.

So even if we didn’t choose "Breaking Bad" was such a great drama that I lost to AMC. The choice I made back then was also correct. We contributed to the potential of the entire society ." When asked, a traditional TV station like FX When it comes to competing with various streaming platforms such as Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO Max, Landgraf’s response is quite witty, “Competing and Netflix is ​​not the task of FX, but the task of our parent company, Walt Disney, .”
