Both Netflix's Freeridge and Disney+'s National Treasure: Edge of History were recently canceled.
sends the message that “it wasn't enough to stay on air. It wasn't important enough, it wasn't exciting enough, it wasn't entertaining enough to keep the engagement of audiences. I say that lightly, though, because … we don't get all of the industry background information in terms of what the audience numbers look like.”Whatever the reason behind the cancellations, Dr. Leon-Boys know they matter.
So how did we get here? Dr. Leon-Boys has a theory that Hollywood doesn’t really commit to Latine projects up front. Instead, our shows are just “one of those projects that are going to check off some box. And once the box has been checked off … there's no longer the need for that story to continue to be on air.”"When Latine youth start noticing how Hollywood consistently doesn’t value them, the effect is 'really problematic,' if not also 'traumatizing.
Dr. Leon-Boys thinks the demographic numbers are “a double-edged sword.” She notes that “the showrunners, producers, and all of these folks that are in charge of making these decisions are also cognizant of the [demographic facts, but] it's a panic discourse in this country.
This is why this issue of youth series cancellations hits so hard. Rodriguez is worried that Latine youth will see all the cancellations and decide to not even pursue a career in entertainment.
Still, she has a message for the studios. “Just be fair and let us shine,” says Rodriguez. “Give us an opportunity. We deserve to be great.”
