Hollywood is adapting to a new political climate characterized by conservative motivations, leading to a reduction in liberal themes and diverse characters in programming.

Creatives report a chilling effect, with instances of producers adjusting or eliminating storylines, especially concerning social justice and LGBTQ+ topics. The impact is felt across various levels of production, as the current political landscape becomes a significant factor in entertainment decision-making.
