Our research with Next50 shows that only 25% of 50-plus viewers are very satisfied with the accuracy of characters who portray their age group. For too long, audiences have been told that great stories belong to young people. But “The Boroughs” is helping change that.

As Lane’s mom in “Gilmore Girls,” Mrs. Kim brought discipline, culture, and a whole lot of personality to the screen. But moms like her are still far too rare on screen. Of all TV moms of kids under age 18, only 7% are Asian or Pacific Islander.

Geena Davis Institute @geenadavisorg.bsky.social · 30/04/2026
On screen, leadership still doesn’t reflect the real world. Women are significantly less likely to be portrayed in leadership roles, and that gap shapes how audiences see power. That’s exactly why Isla Gordon in “Running Point” stands out.

Take Your Child to Work Day offers kids a chance to see their parents’ careers up close. But on screen, the picture is still skewed. Women 40+ are less likely to be shown with an occupation at all. In reality, millions of moms–like the iconic Olivia Benson–are leading, earning, and holding it down.

Sabrina recruited the second half of Thelma and Louise, Geena Davis, to recite the car monologue this week. 🤩 Davis is also known for “A League of Her Own” (1992) and “Beetlejuice” (1988). She also developed the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media in 2004.

The stories we see shape what we believe is possible—but too often, women have been missing from the picture. Our analysis of on-screen representation found that only 38% of STEM characters were women in TV series from 2018 to 2022. From 2007-2017 it was just 37%.
