Read our privacy policy Nearly a third of the LGBT+ characters to have featured on US TV over the past year will not be returning in future, a new report has revealed. The report takes into account LGBT+ characters across scripted primetime broadcast networks, scripted primetime cable networks, and scripted series on the eight major US streaming platforms: Prime Video, Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Peacock, and Paramount+. “It’s clear that when a service fully invests in its LGBTQ shows, this programming rises above a crowded media landscape and is successful with both critics and audiences.” One of the reasons for such a high number of disappearing queer characters is, claims the report, the sale of US network The CW. Plan auto-renews until cancelled Try for free After The CW was sold to Texas-based media company Nexstar, a number of series were cancelled, including Batwoman, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl.
