Women are increasingly shaping the television landscape in Flanders, with female directors and creators at the heart of some of the region’s most compelling projects. Support from the Flanders Audiovisual Fund (VAF) has contributed to a notable rise in female participation: projects backed by the VAF have seen the share of female professionals grow from 22% to 41%. That growth is reflected in series such as Roomies, created by Flo Van Deuren and Kato De Boeck, which showcases the creative talent and storytelling range of women working in Flemish TV. Despite this progress, the industry still faces setbacks, including persistent funding gaps, unequal access to big-budget productions, and structural barriers that can limit career advancement for women. Industry stakeholders say continued investment, mentoring, and targeted initiatives will be essential to sustain the momentum and translate increased participation into leadership roles across writing, directing, and production. The rise in female-led TV projects in Flanders is a promising signal for diversity in storytelling and production perspectives. As public and private funders prioritize gender balance and inclusion, audiences can expect richer, more varied content from the region’s screens.
