GLAAD's annual Where We Are on TV report forecasts the presence of lesbian, gay, bisexual+, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) characters for the 2019-20 television season. Counts are based on original scripted series premiering, or which are expected to return to air, in primetime between June 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020 and for which casting has been announced or confirmed by networks. TV movies or film specials are not included in GLAAD's tally. Primetime begins at 8:00 p.m. ET and PT and ends at 11:00 p.m. ET and PT (10:00 Central and Mountain), Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, primetime begins at 7:00 p.m. ET and PT. This season marks the twenty-fourth year GLAAD has quantifiably tracked the presence of LGBTQ regular and recurring characters on television by calculating their numbers in original scripted primetime programs across both broadcast and cable networks, and now original series on several streaming services. As of the publication of this report, the information found inside is accurate but remains subject to change based on programming adjustments over the course of the television season.
